You gave me a spark then watched me ignite Left me in shadows chasing your light A game of pretend I played for so long Your silence hit louder than any song I know a lot about love and the way it stings It pulls you high then clips your wings A cruel little dance we weren't meant to survive A lot about love but it eats you alive You whispered sweet words with a venomous tone Built me a house but left it of stone I drank from your cup though it tasted like lies Held onto the promise through tear-streaked skies I know a lot about love and the scars it brings Wraps you in gold then steals all your strings A masquerade ball we twirled in disguise A lot about love but it dims your sunrise I tried to break free from this web of regret But the threads of your touch won't let me forget You’re the ghost in my mirror haunting my face A love that once burned now an empty space I know a lot about love and its bitter sting It promises the world then offers nothing A melody cruel that hums and deprives A lot about love but it never arrives
