Your friendship is a blessing

Your love is a curse

The memories I can't get over

In this time of desperation

My heart screams for shelter

Tired of being on the battlefield

Collecting scars

I fought for you

But your no lady liberty

Just lady bad-luck

You only bring misfortune

I'd be fortunate to get away

But its hard to let go

When you were once as important as every breath I take

Now I'm breathless because what you've took from me

As time went by I felt like I didn't want to see another day

Because even when I'm alone I still can't escape the pain

So much I've done for you in vain

You gave me wings

Let me fly to close to the sun

You truly are my sweetest downfall...
