Late night finger tappings |
Tongue sharp as a dagger It guarded your heart Pretty mean they deemed you Right from the start But your beauty it seized me And I knew your defense It had been my friend for too long Hiding a pain so intense You sought after my love In your shell I discovered The piece I was missing Without you as my lover So we played in the park Rebelled hand in hand Cut lips with our braces Our next meeting we planned You gave me your heart But I was a fool And the distance grew deeper Not a word spoke at school Fate must have sighed What is it youve done! Now suffer alone In this web you have spun And suffer I did My own personal hell Institution to institution My home was a cell What was the rhyme and reason For this heathen seeking Eden Born of sin and heroin I was left ashamed and beaten I resolved to do different One fall day I was blessed To catch the eye of my darling My heart beat from my chest We were older and scarred Still couldn't keep us apart For my love for you burned As it had from the start We made love and shared pain Of a world that was cruel But I took it as it were granted I was still that young fool I have found that in life you get just what you deserve I wrote my own sentence And Kicked myself to the curb But I am down, not out I am beaten, not broken I will fight till the end No truer words have been spoken |
