Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can’t destroy what isn’t there
If I’m alone I cannot hate
I don’t deserve to have you
Ooh, my smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn’t face a life without your lights
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight
I think I made it very clear
You couldn’t hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself
You ran away, you’re all the same
Angels lie to keep control
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care don’t ever let me know
