Love Must Be Damned


Tell me that you love me.
Make me think its true.
Don't ever tell me how you really feel
and I'll try not to tell you.

All our promises,
and all our little plans,
Just get lost along the path to never.
And we're bound by rings,
These stupid little things,
These threads of fools gold that we can't sever.

And with each passing day
I watch you slip away,
Though we don't say goodbye,
We continue to try to unite what we are.
The distance is proving too far.
I'll hold you as close as I can.
God knows our love must be damned.

Open my heart up and open my mind up
And hope these infections don't spread.
Despite these misgivings our love goes on living.
The stone is forgiven and bled.

Tell me that you love me.
Show me only hate.
Instead of doing anything to change it,
I'll blame us all on fate.

And each time we kiss,
I can feel your fist,
A silent threat that is never too far.
Though my skin is tough,
Its never quite enough
To stop the words that'll open my old scars.

And with each passing day,
I hate feeling this way.
Since we can't make it right
Put your hands up and fight to unite what we are.
Sometimes we're swinging too hard.
I'll take this as long as I can.
God knows I'm only one man.

As we watch our love die,
still one thing left to try.
Nothing else left to hide

So you let me inside to unite what we are.
This time we took things too far.
I'll love you as long as I can,
I think our love must be damned.

Open my heart up and open my mind up
And hope these infections don't spread.
Despite these misgivings our love goes on living.
The stone is forgiven and bled.
