The Outcast's Lament

[Verse]
I wore the scars like a king wears his crown
Fought the beasts to bring her safe and sound
Through shadows deep where no light dared to fall
I gave my soul I gave it all
[Chorus]
But love's a blade that cuts so cruel
I fought the world and played the fool
Her eyes held hate her heart was stone
I saved her life but lost my own
[Verse 2]
The whispers chased me like a ghost in the dark
An outcast branded with a broken heart
The village doors all slammed in my face
For her I walked in this cursed space
[Chorus]
But love's a blade that cuts so cruel
I fought the world and played the fool
Her eyes held hate her heart was stone
I saved her life but lost my own
[Bridge]
On the edge of the cliff with the stars in my sight
I screamed to the heavens I gave up the fight
For saving her was my only crime
And now my heartbeat is out of time
[Chorus]
Because love's a blade that cuts so cruel
I fought the world and played the fool
Her eyes held hate her heart was stone
I saved her life but lost my own
