BEAT

When I loved you
I would throw myself
Down beneath your feet
Tried so hard to never miss a beat
I guess I thought you’d be the one I’d keep

But I was drunk
On a love that promised peace of mind
And I fucked up in thinking I would find
A kind of love to get me through the night
A kind of love that doesn’t end in fights

You were a light within the darkness
I was your spark when you were lifeless
Like a flame we burned the sky
But we lit fires in each other
And ate the ashes just like lovers

I knew I had lost
But you’ll come again and satiate me
Bend and break until you hate me
You cursed the fire behind my eyes
As you came inside with all your lies

I guess I’m the one forsaken
Cos I craved a part of you thats taken
I guess I’m the bitch that wanted more
Though I got nothing back
I still let you strip me to my core

And now I’m high
On the anger you invoke inside of me
As I choke on it missing every beat
All because of a love that
Threw me at your feet.
