Lyrics

You don’t speak a word
Knowing I’ve been hurt
More vicious by character than by age
How you used to flout
There’s blood on your mouth
See my sadness seek its vengeance in rage
No, it won’t release the pain cos the sorrow will always stay
Like a wound that never goes away

Too tired to fight
You have won - alright
But I pity you cos what did you gain?
More bricks in your wall
Standing big and tall
Hiding what you only seem to feign
Love becoming an illusion getting stronger day by day
Like a wound that never goes away

I saw you as a statue I thought I could climb
But I slipped and fell, you offending me all the time
For you I was nothing but a very cheap toy
As you acted like a vulture dancing on me with much joy

I may have lost myself in my love for you
But in the end you’ll understand that you’re a victim too
You deny your heart the right to speak
Decide how its rhythm goes but hear it sounds so weak

I may bear the scars of a thousand whips
As I stand up against you only poison leaves your lips
You say I changed into someone hard as stone
What do you want when your behaviour hit me to the bone

Destroying me seemed the purpose of your life
Therefore I had to go, having enough of all the strife
You tell me your past colours you black like ink
And ask me to help you when you killed me without a blink

Bringing me down may have given you some control
But in the end all tyrants someway have to pay the toll
Denying myself was demanding far too much
You’re sick inside the head and need an emotional crutch

For you your body’s nothing more than an idea
To serve your ambition and to gain power over me
You tried to break me like the branch of a tree
But I swept back in your face as hard as can be

Look into your soul and try to see the shame
But you only search for others who can take the blame
I reached out to you but you could only spit
Drowning like an addict in his drunken fit

All those lies in the name of a false passion
Betrayal and denial for the sake of sheer obsession
Like a hurricane you came over me
Did you think you could squeeze all respect outta me?

What’s important to you is domination
In the wake of something new you showed no consideration
You hate me now cos I don’t comply no more
A crippled relationship was what you were aiming for

You’ll never know real love as a perfect bliss
Unable to identify with someone you say you now miss
And even if you say there won’t be no more fray
I ‘m not sure if I can ever forget about your foul play
No, I won’t forget about your foul play
Like a wound that never goes away

I won’t forget about your foul play
Like a wound that never goes away

I won’t forget about your foul play
Like a wound that never goes away
