You are the memory that lingers all day The sound of silence on a hollowed day As you tear me down piece by piece The pain, the suffering that fails to seize Like a painting that's been torn to shreds My fate is what every lover dreads Like an addict strung out on the elixir of your love I flee in desperate attempts, like a shackled dove You let me go, yet you still hold on How the night still dithers at the beginning of dawn How can u cherish something that gives you pain You are the bittersweet poison that keeps me sane Unbeknownst of loyalty, yet you keep us tied As if the love between us never died!
