Burn baby burn

My eyes opened like a newborn baby

Ready for a world of love

I had only heard of love

In movies, books and my sister's heartbreaks

It was pure, it was innocent, it was naive

& then you came along and offered me the world, your world

You laid for me a bed of roses and I kept walking on thorns

But though it hurt, I told myself, that sometimes love was painful

& you would heal my wounds

Little did I know, you came to destroy my world

Yours was burning & you rose from the ashes

To burn my heart

Because yours wanted to get even with destiny

So I became collateral damage

When I learned to fly away from you,

You built me a cage. trapped me in all of our memories

When I broke free, you put me in jail

A jail, full of your betrayal, so that I may never escape my burning heart

Just as yours had been burning for ages

May god never curse a lover, with a lover like you

That come with honey dipped words

Only to stab, the very moment I closed my eyes

Like those long gone from this world

Unwilling to see the deception

Behind every devil pretending to be a man

Let my eyes remain closed, the door locked shut & the curtains drawn

For it is a bad world my love

It's best I stay in my cage, where I sing to live but where no prying hands

Can come stab me or lay a bed of roses filled with thorns of your lies.
