Dead Before The Dawn {Chris}
written by Morbid Angel
04:08 PM 10/22/04
You were everything to me,
But you slipped away,
I said I'd love you for eternity,
But there was nothing left to say.

A year I had to escape these feelings,
Cutting and crying,
Broken and bleeding,
A year I had, still left dying.

I let go of you, gave up on hope,
Started to live again,
Stronger on my own,
Escaping you and your pain.

But then you came with open arms,
Dropping the life I'd picked up without you,
Taking me back to square one after coming so far,
And this time I fell again and didn't know what to do.

I cut, I cried, I called your name,
You kept picking me up then dropping me when I found my trust,
It's an endless circle again and again,
For this addiction, this love, this lust.

You don't know how to love me,
You're scared of getting torn,
But it means you are hurting me,
Dead before the dawn.
