The Poet

(Album: Heaven Is Hell - 2013)

Somewhere deep down in my heart,
there's a poet, and a liar.
They are juxtaposed more than the sun and the moon,
yet they find a way to work together.
And with every word that I say, they are writing and conspiring.
How the hell can we just make it worse?
Kiss the girl that you love, then you hurt her...
For some reason I can't seem to shake
oh, this feeling I get that I'm drifting away from true love..

Oh, if I could rip my heart in two,
then I'd give you the half you deserve.
And just always remember I honestly would die for you.
'cause I couldn't live without you.

And I tried so hard not to be what I saw growing up,
but that only made me into a rabid dog, baring its teeth.
Not the man I hoped I'd grow to be.
two steps closer, I'm six steps back,
and I bring you down with me...
Oh, it tears me apart, yeah, it honestly does,
just to know that I made it all worse.
For some reason I can't seem to shake
oh, this feeling I get that I'm drifting away from true love..

Oh, if I could rip my heart in two,
then I'd give you the half you deserve.
And just always remember I honestly would die for you.
'cause I couldn't live without you.
