One Good Reason

you say that you'd love to kiss me
hold me, wake beside me
i want to run away with you
give me one good reason to trust you
i don't expect the world
it's been a long time since i let go

i don't want to live anymore
i haven't for a long, long time
maybe this stone cold girl needs fire
i'm gonna grab you close
i'm gonna run away

but don't fuck with my love
don't fuck with my soul
it's empty and sinful
it's filled with pain enough for an army
i never intended for you to take me
not like this

give me darkness
i want to be on my own
keep me company in the rain
the droplets are red
none of us are saints
don't these scars speak ill of us all?

you say that you'd love to kiss me
hold me, wake beside me
i want to run away with you
give me one good reason to trust you
i don't expect the world
it's been a long time since i let go

i met you early in the year
when the fog was cold
and the wind made me want to disappear
maybe we never should have danced
maybe we never should have laughed

but don't fuck with my love
don't fuck with my soul
it's black enough as it is
it's filled with pain enough for an army
maybe there's something here
something more
i don't know

these smiles are porcelain and silver
glimmering softly with foolish hope
would that i could know the future
before i tried again
my resting place is in my own soul
i'm on fire
but i'm so cold

just hold me in your arms
sway to the music and blink out of existence
i don't want to keep going
but i don't want to die
enfold me close, and let me lean on you
gods know i need someone to trust
i'm standing in the rain
the drops are red

but don't fuck with my love
don't fuck with my soul
it's black enough as it is
it's filled with hope enough to kill me
maybe there's something here
something more
i don't know
it's raining and i'm looking up
i can see you in the clouds
