I was terrified
That this was all some illusion.
That I'd rectified
Any past drawn conclusions
That our love,
That our love couldn't hold its own.
It always seemed
That there were things
That can't be overlooked.
So I tucked it deep
Down in the cracks of an open book
And I taped it shut,
And carried on.

My heart can't take
Another heart break.
I should have known
Thats how it goes
When you don't
Listen to your intuition.
Nothings worse
Than having a love that burns
So bad you can't concern
Yourself with what might happen
If the flags are red,
Waving right over your head.
Still you trusted instead
And found yourself
Caught in the bitter ends of used.

Never loved me like you could.
And you never loved her like you should.

I spent three damn years
Trying to fight
For something so amiss.
Deeply convinced
There was a light at the end of it,
And I lost my sight
Crawling my way out.
My heart can't take
Another heartbreak.
But now I know
Thats how it goes
When you keep
Fighting with your intuition.
Nothings worse
Than having a prayer that burns when answered,
It's how you learn
You can't control what happens.
When you can't defend
Your misplaced ignorance,
'cause you trusted instead
And found yourself caught in acidic bends of used.

Never loved me like you could
And you never loved her like you should.
