Syncopated rhythms With the beat in your body You took what you gave Even though you knew just what it cost me I loved and I loved and I loved And I loved and I loved and I loved And I loved and I loved Then it stopped Cause I've loved and I've loved But this is the first time that I've lost Gone are the days that I loved you And fought all the battles you fled I took myself by the throat And choked the poison out Until my eyes turned red I'm in a danger zone I'm on a battlefield I hear the guns go off They don't care how you feel I cry to God for help Cause I don't feel like me At least when I look in the mirror I still look like me He is a force to be reckoned with He's a liar He lost his youth So he just fueled his desires What is it that he seeks If it's not love he wants? He'll set his city on fire Just to feel warmth for once They're gonna rue what they did to him They're gonna cry They're gonna pay Gone are the days that I loved you And fought all the battles you fled I took myself by the throat And choked the poison out Until my eyes turned red Here comes the age I always feared When I can't blame it on my youth So I'll just bite my words and run off Cause I won't wait for you I could be lies I could be truth I could be something you love and abuse I could be sick I could be right I could something you hold in the night I could be brave I could be scared I could be wisdom when you're unprepared I am not yours Not anymore It's already hard to keep up off the floor I could be lies I could be truth I am just something you loved and abused I could be sick I could be right I could something you hold in the night I could be brave I could be scared It's not my fault that you didn't care I am not yours Not anymore I'll light a match, burn a hole in the floor Gone are the days that I loved you And fought all the battles you fled I took myself by the throat And choked the poison out Until my eyes turned red Here comes the age I always feared When I can't blame it on my youth So I'll just bite my words and run off Cause I won't wait for you I'm going out to start a fight in the streets And make this pain fall through I bet you wonder if I think about you now and then Oh, don't you wish you knew?
