Karmella - Past Tense

How could I fall apart?
Did my own skin deceive me
I was blinded by the sight of it
I hear the echoes that trace
Reminders of the past paved over
Left behind inside its shallow grave
Cling to the shadows these last straws that keep me entangled with you
Like these chains could never break again
I see through your lies
I feel the spite in your replies every time
And when I close my eyes you're just a ghost of the life that I left behind
I won't take it back
You were the best in the past tense
You were the light in the dark
You were the cause of my madness
I've been swirling down the drain that you caused
You were the best in the past tense
You were the spark in the dark
Setting fire to the mattresses and everything our bodies had touched
Give me a second no wait
I can barely hear your words as your voice dissipates
And the cycle just goes on and on
I'm so long gone
But this pleading for what used to be will only keep on burning me
Tell me, give me a reason
The seams are broken
But you were never worth the pain
Sink deep into what you molded
Its what you've chosen
And all your words have left their scars on me
You were the best in the past tense
You were the light in the dark
You were the cause of my madness
I've been swirling down the drain that you caused
You were the best in the past tense
You were the spark in the dark
Setting fire to the mattresses and everything our bodies had touched
Before the hate bleeds in
Will you bind my heart with skin
Make me whole just so you'll never pierce through it again
My walls are up and your time in my space is so long gone
Made myself whole so you could never cut your way back in
You were the best in the past tense
You were the light in the dark
You were the cause of my madness
I've been swirling down the drain that you caused
You were the best in the past tense
You were the spark in the dark
Setting fire to the mattresses and everything our bodies had touched
