Like a dying roses petals
My heart sacrificed on her altar
You lied to me through it all
My face faded when we made love
I was just a replacement for her.
She was always there beside you
Always in your heart and mind
She haunted your dreams
The cruelty she subjected you too
Should have driven you away
Yet you ached for her touch.
I loved you with my all
Kept everything you gave me
Gave you i had
Tried to prove i was worth it
That even if i was a disappointment
My love for you was unconditional
The tender words you spoke
Were all meant for her ears
The soft caresses on my skin
Were you thinking of her?
The soft kisses on my lips
Poison for anyone but her.
The red roses you sent me
Laid on her altar in your mind
We were always ok though
Because you could imagine i was her
The lie that was our love
Didn't mean a thing to you.
You made love to me so tenderly
Then crawled back to lie at her feet
The tears you cried on my shoulder
And the lies you placated me with
The passionate kisses to soothe
That horrible doubt i felt.
Now you have her back
You can lose yourself in her eyes
Drown in her wicked lies
as yet again she rips you apart
And I'm not there to help this time
I won't be your salvation again.
