Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love was kind, for a time
Now just aches, and it makes me blind
This mirrors holds, my eyes too bright
That I can't see the others in my life
Were we too young, our heads too strong?
To bear the weight of these lovers eyes
'Cause I feel numb beneath your tongue
Beneath the curse of these lovers eyes
[Verse 2]
But do not ask the price I pay
I must live with my quiet rage
Tame the ghosts in my head
That run wild and wish me dead
Should you shake my ash to the wind
Lord, forget all of my sins
Or let me die where I lie
'Neath the curse of my lovers eyes
[Verse 3]
'Cause there's no drink or drug I've tried
To rid the curse of these lovers eyes
And I feel numb beneath your tongue
Your strength just makes me feel less strong
[Verse 4]
But do not ask the price I pay
I must live with my quiet rage
Tame the ghosts in my head
That run wild and wish me dead
Should you shake my ash to the wind
Lord, forget all of my sins
Or let me die where I lie
'Neath the curse of my lovers eyes
[Verse 5]
And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow
Take my hand, I'll be on my way
And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow
Take my hand, I'll be on my way
[Verse 6]
And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow
Take my hand, I'll be on my way
And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow
Take my hand, I'll be on my way
[Verse 7]
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
[Verse 8]
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
