Fragile Creatures

Oh what fragile creatures we humans be
He cut me up easily leaving a hole in me
Stretching into my soul, it's 10 miles deep
A man-shaped hole, waking me from sleep
His edges of ice cut into my skin
I don't know why I let him in, oh I let him in
His fist clutches at my heart and spine
Pulling and tearing out any bits he can find
Most days I think I will disappear
Into the same nothing apparently he feels
Confusion sets in and I don't know what to do
Here I am, I just feel like a fool, oh I am his fool
Oh my heart is a rose
Trampled by his poetry and prose
Oh my heart is a rose
With petals pulled and tears wept underneath his toes
(My heart is in ruin)
There will be no songs written for me
I am the hidden footnote in his story
Forgotten before the season's turn
Yet my love for him still burns
I look for him in the corners of my mind
Hoping he'd find his way back to me in time, oh come back in time
Oh my heart is a rose
Trampled by his poetry and prose
Oh my heart is a rose
With petals pulled and tears wept underneath his toes
(My heart is in ruin, but I am still here)
I think I'm running but I'm just standing still
Standing, waiting, swallowing this bitter pill
The secrets I shared are now far, far away
With him, they lie; with him, they stay
I wonder how he is as I put paper under pen
But I guess I have to let him go in the end
Oh this is the end
No, this is the end
Oh god, this is the end

Away

Was it all a lie
If so I think I'd die
Oh this kitten cries
Did you mean what you said
When we laid in my bed
Or was I just misled
...
Here in my hand
Laid the promised land for you
But you turned away
You had nothing more to say to me
Oh I don't know why
I still feel so much inside for you
'Cause I should have known
That you would have thrown me away
Away, Away, Away
You're away from me, you're away
Oh I let you in
I didn't realise how wrong I'd been about you
Just to feel something
Other than the nothing you left
'Cause you left me broken
My pieces forgotten tokens on the ground
But I would trade the sea
Just to have you here with me and not away
Away, Away, Away
(Was this what you were hoping for)
You're away from me, you're away
(Say goodbye and I'll be no more)
You're away from me
Keep your tears and hold my tongue
I think you were the ungrateful one
Saying stay away from me, my love
If I could, I'd hold it back
And turn all these days to the darkest black
Feel the wheel spinning evermore
Away, Away, Away
(Was this what you were hoping for)
You're away from me, you're away
(Say goodbye and I'll be no more)
Come back, I wished, but not today
You're away from me

Epitaph

If you could see the damage you wrought
If you could know how you broke my heart
Would you look straight into my eyes
Would you see how I have died
So let's pretend there was no start
Let's pretend you could never break my heart
Months pass and I still care the same
Months pass yet now I have no name
Now I deal with what you left behind
Now I wonder if you were a waste of time
All these tears I shed over you
All these tears but now I know the truth
So take all I am into yourself
Take all that I can't find myself
These girls hate you for the pain and lies
These girls only want to say goodbye
