Hand-held

If I held out my hand.
Would you bite it?

If I smile at you.
Would you smile back?

Hand over heartache.
Just be careful.

When you lied to me.
I saw the truth in your eyes.

When I decided to stay.
I knew I'd never leave alive.

Mouth over heartache.
Just be careful.

How we moved on.
Was how much I stood still.

How I felt that then.
Was how it felt in my hands.

Ears over heartache.
Just be careful.

Is it any wonder.
That I felt nothing for you anymore.

Is it any wonder.
That you never admitted in seeing that in me.

Eyes over heartache.
Just be careful.

So now the world knows.
They now know that it was because you lied.

And now the world knows.
That I died when I stayed.
