Down the Drain
Circling my mind like water down the drain
The agony from your words
The dull throbbing pain
The shame that I feel
Just for feeling at all
The pain, it's all real
and I feel cold as I fall
I'm just numb and I'm lost
I thought you were my light.
I'm just bitter and cross
My day's turned to night
How could you! I couldn't,
I wouldn't say THAT
and now you hold me so limply
as you take it all back
But I'm empty and desperate
my heart hangs by a thread
And my eyes are just searching
for the horizon ahead
How cold will it be?
How alone will I feel?
How dare you promise me tomorrow
with words that aren't real
Or was it the hatred you spewed
were those the lies that you told?
just to hurt me and break me
and watch me unfold?
In that case, how dare you
cut me so deep
with our dreams as your weapon
and promises you can't keep!
I was angry before
now I'm hateful and dead
and your words just keep circling
like voltures in my head
They feed on my fears
and pick at what's left
of the growth through the years
that has now turned to death.
and my blood now runs cold
for the angel I love
the Angel I thought
had been sent from above
to guide me and lead me
through life hand in hand
and forever our souls
together would stand
but your words they just circle
and my heart, it just cries
and I replay all the anger
as tears fill my eyes
and I reach for your hand
but it's black and it's cold
and I look into your eyes
and see the lies that you've told
no more do I see
that beautiful man
no more do I long
for your sweet guiding hand
no more will I cry
for your love through this pain
my blood for you runs cold
like water down the drain
The agony from your words
The dull throbbing pain
The shame that I feel
Just for feeling at all
The pain, it's all real
and I feel cold as I fall
I'm just numb and I'm lost
I thought you were my light.
I'm just bitter and cross
My day's turned to night
How could you! I couldn't,
I wouldn't say THAT
and now you hold me so limply
as you take it all back
But I'm empty and desperate
my heart hangs by a thread
And my eyes are just searching
for the horizon ahead
How cold will it be?
How alone will I feel?
How dare you promise me tomorrow
with words that aren't real
Or was it the hatred you spewed
were those the lies that you told?
just to hurt me and break me
and watch me unfold?
In that case, how dare you
cut me so deep
with our dreams as your weapon
and promises you can't keep!
I was angry before

and your words just keep circling

no more do I long

no more will I cry
for your love through this pain
my blood for you runs cold
like water down the drain
