I wont settle
It must be all or nothing.
When you hold your dreams
And write them out
Are they not the same as mine?
When you hurt me
And I feel it deeply
Is that not what you wanted?
I feel the stars fading
And my heart aching
And the floor moving
To time thats breaking.
Thats what you want to hear.
I'll give it to you
On a silver platter.
I'll say "here's my soul, babe"
"Heres my heart, too"
And you will devour it all
Just to seem smart.
I'll do it all except
Screaming shrieks of pain.
I wont make you hear yourself
Or leave you deaf.
