I chose the wrong words
Now I'm left to live
Burdened by the enemy of love
Who's gone and taken all that's left
Just need a minute of your time
I can't take back the words
But if you'll give, I'll try to change your mind

It's been wicked dull days
Forbidden lonely nights
The needle pops along the cracks and grooves
Of a broken hearted 45
Critical and left for dead
Another memory that's lost
Another letter ripped to shreds

Wash me in the water
Cover me in sand
Burn all of the bridges that lead to me
Till the love is washed off in the water
Covered in the sand
Build the highest wall of flames around me
'til a heart of black is what I have

No more emotion
Farewell to pain
So long to innocence
No regret remains
Goodbye to misery
Desensitized
Erase all energy
Paralyzed

Wash me in the water
Cover me in sand
Burn all of the bridges that lead to me
Till the love is washed off in the water
Covered in the sand
Build the highest wall of flames around me
'til a heart of black is what I have
