~Back For You~
I don't understand
Why'd you come back?
After you left me
My soul turned black
I cannot explain
How I have changed
My mind has crumbled
I've become deranged
My heart no longer flutters
When you come near
Your name is terribly painful
When it floats through my ear
Your hot, callused hands
I dread their rough touch
My shattered heart is held
In your fiery clutch
Your laugh like a scream
That echoes from the dead
Your slimy tongue slipping
Words that should have been said
Eyes of steely blue
Match your unfeeling heart
Take what you can
And rip me apart
Lies, oh, so sweet
Not the devil could match
I fear the days when
Another's love you snatch
We are not friends
Nor companions or lovers
Though even after all this
Your memory still hovers
Why can't I leave you
Or just turn away?
It's because my demons have woken
And they want to play
Why'd you come back?
After you left me
My soul turned black
I cannot explain
How I have changed
My mind has crumbled
I've become deranged
My heart no longer flutters
When you come near
Your name is terribly painful
When it floats through my ear
Your hot, callused hands
I dread their rough touch
My shattered heart is held
In your fiery clutch
Your laugh like a scream
That echoes from the dead
Your slimy tongue slipping
Words that should have been said
Eyes of steely blue
Match your unfeeling heart
Take what you can
And rip me apart
Lies, oh, so sweet
Not the devil could match
I fear the days when
Another's love you snatch
We are not friends
Nor companions or lovers
Though even after all this
Your memory still hovers
Why can't I leave you
Or just turn away?
It's because my demons have woken
And they want to play
