Never Hollowed By The Stare

If I can’t let you go, will darkness divide?
For the fiction of love is the truth of our lies
We were playing for keeps, but we both knew the cost
Now the only way out’s in your heart-shaped box (heart-shaped box)

But I hate that it seemed you were never enough
We were broken and bleeding, but never gave up
And I hate that I made you the enemy
And I hate that your heart was the casualty
Now I hate that I need you

As we rest here alone like notes on a page
The finest to compose could not play our pain
With a candle through time, I could still see your ghost
But I can’t close my eyes, for it
For it is there where you haunt me most (haunt me most)
Where you haunt me most

I hate that it seemed you were never enough
We were broken and bleeding, but never gave up
And I hope that I stain through your memory
As we echo through time in the melody
Now I hate that I need you

And I hear you now when you said it hurt
But it had to fall, fall apart to work
As I see you now in what’s left of me
Is it too late to plead insanity?

(I won’t let go) ’cause I hate that it seemed you were never enough
Yeah, we’re broken and bleeding in the name of love
And I hope that we meet in another life
I hope that we meet in another life
I don’t hate that I need you (I don’t hate that I need you)
I don’t hate that I need you (I don’t hate that I need you)
I don’t hate that I need you

Is this all you want? Satisfied with what’s left
Of a broken heart, fighting for every breath
I can give you more ’cause in this tomb I’ve laid
Fighting for your heart
Your debts have all been paid

Dark turns into light
Before your very eyes
No more darkness
Just light

Just light

No more tears to cry, joy can take their place
And there’s freedom here, I have won your race
You’re perfect to me, ’cause when I look at you
I see myself and the triumphs you’ve been through

Dark turns into light
Before your very eyes
No more darkness
Just light

Dark turns into light
Before your very eyes
No more darkness
Just light

Just light

Dark turns into light
Before your very eyes
No more darkness
Just light
