Lover lyrics

If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover

That what you had is shattered and wasted

Did you have to take it so far?

The truth exposed to love is devoured

And the ivory tower is coming down

I felt betrayed and order is broken

The wounds are open and bleeding out

But it’s all I can do to carry on

It brings all I fear to life

If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover

That what you had is shattered and wasted

Did you have to take it so far?

Should you have to throw it all away?

Did you have to shove it in my face?

Did you have to tear my world apart?

Did you have to take so selfishly?

No matter how you hurt the ones you need?

Did you have to fall so very far?

The trigger’s warm, the chamber is loaded

Lost in the moment. What went wrong?

There’s nothing left this house has been broken

But still I’m holding, I’m holding on

If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover

That what you had is shattered and wasted

Did you have to take it so far?

You can see it in your love

The wounds are open and I’m bleeding out

It’s so real

If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover

That what you had is shattered and wasted

Did you have to take it so far?
