Bruised she feels   Insecure and jilted   Like a thief he tried to steel her soul   Slyer than his easy smile   He tried to use her for a while   Underneath she's empty as a whole      Oh flame's still burning   She's not learning   Can't keep turning   Back discarded memories   Dusty thoughts   Start to tease her      Loaded with ammunition   Coded by her ambition   He fires a sweet talk into defenseless she   Shot and numb with poison words   She struggles uselessly   Unhurt a slave to his cruel captivity      Oh flame's still burning   She's not learning   Can't keep turning   Back discarded memories   Dusty thoughts   Start to tease her      It's all a game   For him to play   He trank a deep   And threw her away   Deluding her   No illusion is numb      Cynicism neared his head   And left his appetite   Unfed   Alone all his brilliant words   Are dead      Oh flame's still burning   She's not learning   Can't keep turning   Back discarded memories   Dusty thoughts   Start to tease her      He turned her world to black   But she's stopped looking back   Tattooed it all in black   Discretion is the key   To his reality   And she feels now she's free   So she chooses then and there   To leave without a care   She goes into the dusk   As easy as a breeze   No longer on her knees   Her soul is now at peace
