For Your Eyes Only

So busy starting gardens that you missed our flowers bloom
Then you tell me to stop pacing, as if it would help revive the carpet
I've etched my worries into
(I was) gifted new eyes to see the world for what it is
So let me to find complacency as the colors fade to grey
False hope is what you're feeding me

I could keep you safe with me
I could keep you safe, maybe
No longer should you hide from this world that made you bitter
Still no good for myself lately and I'm dragging you down with me baby
Forbidden fruit & taboo, what's the use of life if I'm not living?

Numb again
I'll throw my bones behind and decide to push you away
Only to be pulled back harder every time
So drag me through hell and take my free will because this is what I wanted
Or is this what I wanted?

A hallowed shell, a vibrant red, an empty head, my feet of led
I flew too close to the sun
You warned me, but I had to see it for myself
I flew too close to the sun and you warned me, but I had to see it for myself

So let me tell you how it feels to allow your blood to spill out for another
And let me tell you what it takes to make your body break it's perfect figure
It's love, and I had to see it for myself

The hardest part of loving you, is knowing that I hurt you too
