Sweet Sacrifice.

Sweet Sacrifice.

She slams the bottle down - looking upon a shattered frame,
Covering a boy and another pretty face without a name;
Heart breaker, don't you know your little lines ate her alive,
And left her with nothing but empty promises to survive?

You scripted the act and played it out on a silver screen,
And I have to say, you did quite well on the love scene;
And with your bloody dagger, you stabbed her in the heart;
Dying like a movie star in your arms, she played the part.

And as rusty tears trickle down from her blood shot eyes,
Her naive heart continues to believe your pathetic lies;
A sweet sacrifice you cluttered with petty duct tape sorries -
And with a shudder she slurs: "You know you live to break me."
