Now life is full of so many simple crutches They help me walk, they help me sleep, they help me suffer The love was never there and I just didn't see it Weapons take on so many painful attachments The faces change but they all tell the same damn story The love was never there and I just didn't see it The love was never there, now I don't think I even care I've built this wall around my heart to shut you out I've played my part in this game that I thought was real In this pain that I now feel And if I ever fall again, will I just turn it to the wind Or let it fly away with pain Or let it fester into the same A small dark place inside my mind will keep me safe and far behind Where you can never hurt me again The way you did and nothing can ever erase. I pull this glass out of my skin The 'wish I had's replace my sins I release the lies but not the disdain And nothing can ever wash this away. A small quiet place where I can hide A small quiet place where I can hide Where you can never hurt me again.
