lyrics

These wounds are still wide open,
But its time, to come to terms,
With the fact you never cared,
The way I did in return,
Your love was like a drug to me,
And I took a lethal dose,
I thought we were unbreakable,
But you left me when I needed you the most.

Were you ever heaven sent?
Could my faith have been better spent?
You’re no angel of the skies,
I’ve seen the devil in you eyes.

Two wheels, a thousand miles,
And now I understand why, I’m the exile.

Tell me what went so wrong (Its hard to think)
And tell what you knew all along (We were ever close)
That this was never anything more than a way to pass the time (After all you left me)
I thought we were forever, but forever is a lie (When I needed you the most)

Every road so lonely, it was you I wanted to call,
But you thought it best, to give up on it all,
And I realised, by the end,
If you love someone, you don’t give up on them.

Tell me what went so wrong (Its hard to think)
And tell what you knew all along (We were ever close)
That this was never anything more than a way to pass the time (After all you left me)
I thought we were forever, but forever is a lie (When I needed you the most)

Hollow words, bred hollow actions,
A false love, without passion,
Hollow words, bred hollow actions,
A false love, without passion.

These wounds are still wide open,
But its time, to come to terms,
With the fact you never cared,
The way I did in return,
My love was not enough for you,
Now you’re no more than a ghost,
All I asked was for you to stay,
But you left me when I needed you the most.
