Lizards and Snakes

It never ceases to amaze me how women fall for them  
Cold hearted thieves of hot blooded lovers  
Until the tears flow and they come to my door  
Singing the same refrain of why, why, why?  
Oh but his words were so smooth and his eyes so deep  
Now I am supposed to be the healer of hearts  
Why, why, why wasn't I the lover you sought  
When you heart was strong and on fire?  
I don't want the ashes of his campfire  
Where he sacrificed your innocence  
After you spurned the one who would have been true  
This isn't my fault, so why are you at my door?  
Are you here to offer the broken pieces up to me  
Or am I just to lay my hands on your shattered glass?  
You believed his tongue as he forked you into submission  
When I wanted you to be yourself in passions equity  
You decided the crocodile ride was the better thrill  
But thin ice all looks solid until you hear it crack beneath your feet  
Before you can get back to shore the sinking feeling suffocates your dream  
Why is it up to me to breathe life back into your drowned soul?  
Yes I know snakebites kill but I don't have a cure  
If it were so I would not be alone now, nor would you...  
There is no medicine injection, the antidote dwells within two
