Chains of Burning Red
Tell me you love me
Replace the burning red hand prints on my cheeks
With burning words of desire
For me
Tell me you're sorry and mean it this time
Apologize and only ever strike at my heart with arrows from Cupid's bow
Make me fall in love again
Im waiting for that man who's promises lie somewhere beneath a thousand lies
They pile around me like stones of a well
And im stuck deep down here with no exit for I cannot climb
My only connection to the world
Is the rope he throws down to me which he labels love
But it burns to the touch
Tell me you love me
But tell me with those eyes that only ever seem cold
Make a reality the happiness we paint to the world
I must've loved you so much since I chose to stay
Or maybe I just never knew how to love myself
There is more to the word than four letters strung together by a pair of lips
When you threw the word at me
You strung your letters together with chains and whips
