I Want It To Hurt


Light up this heart

Take out the pain

Gut it

If that's what it will take

Just take away

This heart break

Make it worth something to me

Make it worth a damn

To you

Just make sure

You undo

The cracks 

The tracks

 

Does she know

Did she know then

When

She was where she had no place

Being

Does she know

Would she even care

Can you feel me

How do I get air

To my lungs

How do I breathe

When I see

It all behind these eyes

How did you lay

In that bed of lies

And not even flinch from the truth

The truth

That loved you

 

I know you love me still

I know you would kill

Just for another moment

One more night

Alone with me

You look into these eyes

And the tears

The pain

The shocking pain

Rocks you to the core

What did you expect

From me

What did you hope for

When you took everything of mine

Away from me

 

Sleep tight

Sleep well

In that bed

Of lies and hell

Sleep soundly

Sleep safe

As I sail away

Far away from this disaster

Sleep alone

Where you belong

And when you dream

I want it to hurt

I want your eyes to burn

With tears

LIke mine did

And maybe it's wrong

But when it comes down on you

I want it to hurt

I want it to hurt
