Nothing's Alright

Torn between love and lies
Standing on the line
Counting down the minutes
But can't stop time

Love is like a dagger
Stabbed through my heart
Slowly tearing downward
Ripping it apart

My tears are like thorns
Dripping down my cheeks
Choking out my words
I cannot speak

His lies are like murder
Killing me inside
Trying to stay strong
But I break down and cry

I'm letting myself go
Wearing my heart on my wrist
They say love is kind
But it left me like this

Etched oh so deep
Can you see this?
Your lies are carved
Across my wrist

Killing me slowly
This love of yours
I can't let you go
It's you I adore

I missed the mark
I won't die tonight
But I'll try again
Cause nothing's alright
