Thoughts of having you killed :)



You're scared to be alone
You're the broken man
I tried so hard to fix you
- Maybe I still can

You want the best of both worlds
I'm tempted to let you have it
And let myself get drawn in
Out of lust and need and habit

There are never enough distractions
To stop me thinking of you
Time is meant to be a healer
But it's bringing pain anew

A gaping void you've left me with
That never can be filled
Except with anger and excitement
At thoughts of having you killed :)
