If you knew it all before would you pull her near again
or would you keep banging those drums until she left
would you take the pain again
or would you keep your lips sealed
and say we’re good as friends (were we good as friends?)
the same song, an awful melody
no matter where you go, it will keep you here
no matter where you lay you’re head
no one will pull you out the depths
When you think of everything
that you could have been
someone will always whisper her name
though these black years will become days
but hold your wish for them to fade
cause there’s no way to erase this kind of pain
from the black of my heart
you still tear me apart
from the black of my soul
you still manage to control
me and all my dreams
