Fire and Ice
i hate that i have to be the one to admit
that i'm not over this
i hate that i have to always be the one
to bend to your will
you say you want it that way
and you most certainly will get your way
because you know i won't go
you used the part of me that loved you most
to your advantage
i took your jealousy that tried to control me
and turned it around
twisted the sound of your words
it's clear to me now
we're fire and ice
you use the light that burns inside of you to suffocate me
and i take waht's left of my cold, freezing self to drown you out
this is not love,
it's just torture
i've had enough, but i can't let go of
fire and ice
we became addicted to the pain that we cause
forever entrench in emotions of the other
burnt out by you fire and chilled by my words
we never stood a chance in this romance
so you go your way
and i will go mine
we'll be okay
it may take some time
no more using me, letting me down
i won't twist your words or shudder at their sound
we both know
we're fire and ice
you're my favorite vice and i'm your sweetest form of abuse
you can't get enough of bringing me down
and i can't let myself keep being pushed around
it started as love, and turned into war
i've had enough, i'll lay down my gun love
cause we're fire and ice
we push and we pull till we fall down
but i don't want to be stuck to the ground
i'll choose to love you still
cause i'd rather be burnt by your love
than left to freeze
