No Turning Back

by Vickie   Apr 22, 2006


We laugh until we cry
We throw our hearts around
We have the greatest times
But we hate this forsaken town.

We scream our lungs out
Longing for hope
We scream our lungs out
Because words make us choke.

We get down on our knees
And pray to understand
We get down on our knees
Because we're too weak to stand

Longing for a difference
A single reason to live
I slice open my veins and bleed
Because it reminds me I'm not dead.

You love that I put up a fight for you
You love to see me weak
You separate your precious lips to say anything
But by now, I realize talk is cheap.

The air passing through my lungs soon thins
I was looking for a new beginning
You killed me slowly
And brought me to my end.

The taste of salvation never seemed so far
You proved to me that trusting is foolish
You left me here to fall
Loving, hugging, learning..words my tongue can't caress

You left me lying here
I'm lying in your bloody mess
Drowning in my own crimson regret
Staring down at loneliness, I'm left here on my own.

I realize now, I'm leaving this town
Only this time
There's no turning back.
