ive laughed a lot and cried myself to sleep took care to wash my hands but forgot to breathe and ive learned that im a loss and ive lost all i have learned finding peace in empty misery so that misery is empty within me and i buttoned up my shirt and i tucked it in with headphones in my ears i pretend to tune in and ive played your metal hand and ive handed you my cash not knowing that the world has other paths and im ignoring all the lessons of the past and ive seen where i dont want to go and i need the after love glow no i wont take no red means go i got love on this side of me i got love on this side of me i got love on this side of me and i turned a blind eye too many times on the nameless boy that dwells inside my mind and i galvanized my heart to protect it from the rain not knowing that love requires pain but pain thats washed in love cannot remain but thats as painful as the boy without a name and i been up high and i watched the dance below and its all the days that i let my joy take hold and im so grateful for the sky and the moon that makes the eye so i can see my feelings in the stone and the stone can bear another broken bone and ive seen where i dont want to turn and i need the after love burn no i wont take no red means go i got love on this side of me i got love on this side of me i got love on this side of me hey i swear ill always love again hey i swear ill always love again hey i swear ill always love again hey i swear ill always love again
