Not Enough Hands in the World to Save You
Bittersweet Tragedy

There's nothing to serenade when there is no song to be sung... love to you is just a cruel game.
You told me I was crazy, no, I was just crazy in love.
It's amazing what someone in love would do.
You killed me, with a knife through my chest,
You held onto me while telling me
"There's Not Enough Hands in the World to Save You"
I thought it was a sweet sweet lullaby
Another serenade to fall for
But it was just yet another cruel joke
Of Bittersweet Paradise...
There was nothing there to embrace
So why should I feel this way?
Because you teased me,
You told me: "This is what we can have"
"Just wait a bit longer"
"The wait will be worth it," I told myself through so many tears
As I pulled out another Red Flag
that was embedded in my back.
I smiled through the tears
Blinded from the truth
As my love for you began to blur the red lines
He loves me, He Loves me, He loves me
I sang myself listlessly and repetitively to sleep...
Dreaming of a bittersweet tragedy
Played til the end by a role only a mere fool could play
The music faded away,
The spotlights went out
And the screen has faded to black
I still feel the pain
but it's all a blur now
I pray that,
After the blur fades to nothing at all
The lies we call love will crumble and fall
