I guess it might come off as kinda sick or twisted
but I must tell you this before we go to bed
I don't believe that love is ought but desperation
and I can't give it just because of what you've said
I'm as hollow as the promises that I refuse to make
As empty as the smile that I will oft forget to fake
And as we stand here in this doorway and you offer me you self
I carry you like a burden or a hand that I've been dealt
Across the threshold of self loathing and regret
into a situation I just haven't fucked up yet
And all the while oblivious you act as tho you know
That's it's going to work out fine
Your fantasies of shining knights so far removed from here
The distant glimmer in my eyes, a broken chandelier
A fairy tale of happy ever after leaves in tears
And all that I can offer is a heart that's full of fear
Of being alone on this my wedding day
The fear of being abandoned by the things I've thrown away
The fear that I will never really care enough to give
The feeling that I'm too far gone to ever really live
That anything of meaning
or any hint of joy
will ever touch my heart
yeah I know but hey, it rhymes for the most part
