HEARTBREAK TASTES JUST LIKE STEEL

How do you feel? I designed myself to love you more, I scratch your skin, I’m waiting outside to tell you you’re lovely.
I crawl to your house and I nail myself to your door with my arms outspread, so you can see that I love you more.
I slit my wrists with porcelain and I tear my throat to shreds so you would notice me, finally, finally.
I swallow my promise to never taste this again, I’m laughing as I bleed to death, as I bleed to death, as I bleed to death

Hold out. It’s such a waste to say that you need me more, when you really don’t at all.
It’s the iron taste of blood in my mouth from biting my tongue for way too long.

Smiling as I raise my head and softly ask how was your day and I’ll sleep on the couch at night, I’ll even stay out of your way, I’ll keep you safe when you are not, I’ll keep you warm when you are cold, I’ll wake you up at 2 am just to tell you that I care.
I find solace in the curves of your hips, I think you’re beautiful even though you don’t need me, even though you don’t need me at all, even though you don’t, even though you don’t need me at all.

Thinking back at what has been, love struck, snow blind, it seemed all right at the time, I’ve got blackened eyes from crying all night for you.
Question the reasons behind my convictions, I’m killing myself even though I know what not to do, its just too much trouble you know.
Heartbreak tastes just like steel. Heartbreak tastes just like steel. Heartbreak tastes just like steel.  
Marry me! Under the stars with a broken needle as my ring to you and a cat carved inside your arm as your ring to me

Hold out. It’s such a waste to say that you need me more, when you really don’t at all.
It’s the iron taste of blood in my mouth from biting my tongue for way too long.

Smiling as I raise my head and softly ask how was your day and I’ll sleep on the couch at night, I’ll even stay out of your way, I’ll keep you safe when you are not, I’ll keep you warm when you are cold, I’ll wake you up at 2 am just to tell you that I care.
I find solace in the curves of your hips, I think you’re beautiful even though you don’t need me, even though you don’t need me at all, even though you don’t, even though you don’t need me at all.

Hearbreak tastes just like steel, I know just how it can feel. I would have broken another bottle to see Starlight sing its song, but not now I quit carving verses on my arm. I happened to put up something small, finally, as I happened to come up on this call. I know its spinining somewhere still though I've almost succeeded in keeping still, please look into my deviation and tell me what you thought.

powerful. wow i miss reading well planned out words. very poetic and so true in almost anyone that has gone through deep love that is so strong, it's painful. i love your words and congrats on having a band sing it. you're very talented, keep it up
