Hateful Ever After

Nothing is holy, I can't leave it fully
In my head there's an image of
Roses that you pulled me
From the ground, right where you showed me

How much you needed me, said I completed
Your belief that a love could be
Demonized and ridden
With disease, but still so persistent

Four eyes to watch each other cry
Three lies, you whispered to me that night
Two arms to hold my broken trust
One heart for the both of us

Then I see the white light (ha-ah), a hateful ever after
One story turned to a disaster (ha-ah-ah)
Don't tell my mother, please
That I still cry in dreams
The only place we meet (ha-ah-ah-ah-ah)

And all the fine lines (ha-ah) to think they didn't matter
One story, drop it, watch it shatter (ha-ah-ah)
Don't tell my brother, please
I know he worries about me
Seen I've been losing sleep (ah-ah-ah)

I'm not regretful, it's driving me mental
Life without you is so
Uneventful, I prefer the pain
Over solitude, not ashamed

Lowest of lows, but the highs were a tower
You and I on the balcony
Now, you said that you loved me
Did it proudly knowing the ugly

Then I see the white light (ha-ah) a hateful ever after
One story turned to a disaster (ha-ah-ah)
Don't tell my mother, please
That I still cry in dreams
The only place we meet (ha-ah-ah-ah-ah)

And all the fine lines (ah-ah) to think they didn't matter
One story, drop it, watch it shatter (ha-ah-ah)
Don't tell my brother, please
I know he worries about me
Seen I've been losing sleep (ah-ah-ah)

I believe there's something powerful
Was opening the door
Under candle snuffed
The ones who told me all I need to know
But, I can't go back even if I want
Oh, honey, you're so far gone
I wish it turned it out quietly and kind

But, I saw the white light, a hateful ever after
One story turned to a disaster
Don't tell my mother, please
That I still cry in dreams
The only place we meet (ha-ah-ah-ah-ah)

And all the fine lines (ha-ah) to think they didn't matter
One story, drop it, watch it shatter (ha-ah-ah)
Don't tell my brother, please
I know he worries about me
Seen I've been losing sleep (ah-ah-ah)

Four eyes to watch each other cry
Three lies, you whispered to me that night
Two arms to hold my broken trust
One heart for the both of us
