I give names to my demons, those who write
All of my choices, all of my memories
I give thanks to the people who were right
When they spoke to me, they're all I'll ever see
When you go
I get high on the bitter taste of life
You know it comforts me, that I won't ever need
Your love
I burn these pages and start a fire
I breathe in the smoke and I rest a while
I teach a lesson to the abandoned young
I speak of love through gritted teeth
If I can't have love then love can not have
I give blame to my demons, those who use
All of their voices, just to frighten me
I wish pain on the people who were wrong
Though they were kind to me, I'll feel only envy
I ask why such a bitter waste of life
Oh the irony, that you want sympathy
And I want love
I burn these pages and start a fire
I breathe in the smoke and I rest a while
I teach a lesson to the abandoned young
I speak of love through gritted teeth
If I can't have love then love can not have
I burn these pages and start a fire
I breathe in the smoke and I rest a while
I teach a lesson to the abandoned young
I speak of love through gritted teeth
If I can't have love then love can not have
Love can not have
