Don't look at me now
don't want you to see me like this
These tears streaming down my face
these emotions I can't seem to control
And I lost it all moments ago
haven't had a chance to pick up the pieces
Never knew love could hurt so much
if I had known
never would have fallen so damn deep
So if you stick around long enough
you may see me rip my own heart out
I believe it is beyond repair
no use in keeping it in here
Must have been out of my head
nothing but wasted moments anyway
Should have hesitated
thought things out
Should have known
it would go down this way
Everybody tried to tell me
if I was in the right frame of mind
I would have listened to them all
oh god
it hurts so much
Got a knife
shaking in my hands
Blood dripping from open viens
but no river of red
can wash away all the pain
Laying on the kitchen floor
got a photograph of you
No river of red
can wash away all the pain
My dreams fade away
like the faint beating
of what's left of this heart
Wonder if it would have been better
if I had just blown my head off
Now I can hear the police
tryin' to break down the front door
So what will the papers recall
will they tell the truth
Tell of how I gave my all
got nothing but hurt in return
Ain't it funny
the last thing that slips through my thoughts
Is how sweet it was
our first kiss
No river of red
can wash away all the pain...
