i woke from the dream girl you were still sleeping i stayed by your side long as i could if you open your eyes if your heart could stop beating just for me then youd find that i was right though the skin is the same all the rest has been changed into what i dont know and youre cursing my name in the dark you are screaming wondering whos to blame you know i did what i could i tried to a mask of silence i tried on the hands of kindness they were too small you held out so long i gave you my heart we found out too late there wasn t nothing left to give though the skin is the same theres a war inside raging rattling chains of your love and you know im ashamed of the wounds i ve opened with the blade of my love
