Downcast - hell

Oh, the summers we could've had
Your voice lingers, and I feel paralyzed
The could've been I can't erase
I would've paced that room for days

If no one made me leave
I saw hell when I was with you
Chased the heaven you gave to tease
Spared a drop, then turned to leave

You always were one step ahead
The demon stood beside my bed
Chasing me 'round dangerous bends
Blind my eyes to what's ahead

And I thought I couldn't go on without you

I wouldn't have you back
if I could trigger something like that
'Cause that vacant look in your eyes
When words passed your teeth
It haunts me in my dreams

You paint me as the devil
Twist every line, drag me to your level
And I'll bet your friends don't know
The half of it, do they?

How we fell apart, your mask didn't fit
There's no love in those eyes
I saw hell when I was with you
And I hate that I still miss you

You always were one step ahead
The demon stood beside my bed
Chasing me 'round dangerous bends
Blind my eyes to what's ahead

And I thought I couldn't go on without you

I wouldn't have you back
if I could trigger something like that
'Cause that vacant look in your eyes
When words passed your teeth
It haunts me in my dreams

And I just can't forget you
'Cause the cut you made runs deep
We see in different colors
But when I see you in my sleep

You bless my world with violet
You cleanse the air like sage
But when time moves on, all I see is grey
And the devil on your face

I wouldn't have you back
if I could trigger something like that
'Cause that vacant look in your eyes
When words passed your teeth
It haunts me in my dreams

I wouldn't have you back
if I could trigger something like that
'Cause that vacant look in your eyes
When words passed your teeth
It haunts me in my dreams
