How To (Survive You)

Never have I been attached so easily

Falling in love wasn't an option

My independence, were my strength

You became my weakness, I tried to avoid

How foolish I must have been

Listening and holding onto every word

Spoken with a false tongue, deceptive lies

A sword, to cut down my defences

I was blinded by your show, pretence

You gave me a lingering feeling, lies

That poisoned a heart, so destructive

To a soul that wouldn't survive you

So how am I to live on

Could you tell me how to

Carry on when you became my world

Burning down while I can't survive you

Too easily I fell for the affection

A deceptive cliff I never expected

Crashing to an unwanted ending

Just to learn all you gave, took back twice

As much as I prayed for release,

Regardless of all the tears I have cried

You just couldn't stop, gave me hope

Every time I seemed to getting past you

You kept blinding me with pretence

As I choked on the lies you fed

In ruins I am left with your poison

As my soul couldn't survive you

So how am I to live on, (don't break me)

Could you tell me how to, (lie to me again)

Carry on, while my world is drowning me

Burn me down knowing I won't survive you
