God Forbid
As I pick up my heart from the floor
Torn out and broken, can't take any more
So won't you stop beating it now?
I am done with you, you are done with me
Don't you trust words because words can tell lies
What may seem as a blessing's a curse in disguise
Heartshaped box, a casket for two
Remains half-empty with a promise so untrue
So here I stand
With empty hands and a heavy heart
Beating to the tempo of your threnodies
But God forbid I see your face again
You know that things will never be the same
But maybe I was never meant to love
So I'm letting go
So why won't you fire away
Somehow I knew that you could never stay
Yet I'd like to believe that I was truly yours
But now I don't know anymore
But God forbid I see your face again
You know that things will never be the same
But maybe I was never meant to love
So I'm letting go
I've lit myself on fire just to keep you warm
I provided you with shelter from every violent storm
You say you're feeling empty, and we are not the same
So after all of these years was it nothing but a game?
I'm feeling so alive now that I am truly free
I thought you were pouring water but you're pouring gasoline
So throw me to the wolves
Set my heart aflame
But God forbid I see your face again
