Lock the Door and Throw Away the Key

I would never leave your side
Never let you fall
But I can't get us out of here
It's out of my control

Every time you look at me
Every time you call
I feel it in my bones
You aren't really there at all

Something's off, I'm not sure what
I just can't seem to see
The person that I loved is gone
Who are you supposed to be

I don't want to hurt you
But you've left me no choice
I tried to reason with you
But you chose not to use your voice

I walked around for hours
Just trying to pick the pieces up
I handed you the fragments
But I don't think that was enough

Lately I don't recognize
The thing that you've become
Your eyes turn black, your teeth fall out
I think it's time to run

Something's off, I'm not sure what
I just can't seem to see
The person that I loved is gone
Who are you supposed to be

I'd let you in, but I don't know
What you want from me
I think it's time to lock the door
And throw away the key

I don't want to hurt you
But you've left me no choice
I tried to reason with you
But you chose not to use your voice

I walked around for hours
Just trying to pick the pieces up
I handed you the fragments
But I don't think that was enough

Please don't make me kill you
Please don't let it come to that
Let's go sit down inside
And we can have a little chat

Please don't bare your claws
Darling, there's no need to shout
No need to raise your hands
You know that we can talk this out

I'd let you in, but I don't know
What you want from me
I think it's time to lock the door
And throw away the key

I don't want to hurt you
But you've left me no choice
I tried to reason with you
But you chose not to use your voice

I walked around for hours
Just trying to pick the pieces up
I handed you the fragments
But I don't think that was enough

I don't want to hurt you
But you've left me no choice
I tried to reason with you
But you chose not to use your voice

I look down at my palms
Hands a'dripping fearful red
I'd ask if you're alright, my love
But you're already dead
