BROKEN DOWN

Broken Down

Broken down, broken down, to the ground, my heart spread wide
You're the traitor, the pretender, the liar by my side
You, you, you set my world ablaze, turned it to dust
You with a serpent's tongue, with a dove's deceit, I couldn't trust

Destroyer of vows, heartless and cold
You cast me down like a lightning bolt so bold
Unheard my pleas, unheeded my calls
In your fire, I crashed. I crumbled against the walls.

Once, I stood tall, but you made me small
Like a slave, I crawled at your beck and call
Bleeding, pleading, on my knees, I fell
Your beauty, a curse, but I revelled in its fiery hell

Like Dante, I fought, but you, my demon
Revelled in my pain, my agony serene
A cat with its cream, you feasted on my soul
While I, bewitched, could not escape your hold

Broken down, broken down, to the ground, my heart spread wide
You're the traitor, the pretender, the liar by my side
You, you, you set my world ablaze, burned it to dust
You with a serpent's tongue, with a dove's deceit, I couldn't trust

Your fire burned, a conflagration's kiss
I kicked and screamed inside your love abyss
Honey and poison, you are a bitter-sweet delight
You gobbled down raisin cakes secretly in the night

Broken down, broken down, to the ground, my heart spread wide
You're the traitor, the pretender, the liar by my side
You, you, you set my world ablaze, burned it to dust
You with a serpent's tongue, with a dove's deceit, I couldn't trust
