SERPENTINE versuri

SERPENTINE lyrics by Alyssa Brown

Verse 1
Beat me to black and blue
Then lie and say you’ll never do it again
So I close my eyes and recall how you were
Always forcing myself to look for some kind of good
Threaten to die if I leave so I’ll stay
Force me to lie and say I’m okay to my friends
Trapped between torture and an unforgivable decision
It needs to end

Chorus
The wells in my tear ducts are running dry
Why fight to save something that’s destined to die?
Calling a feeling love so you feel less alone
Praying every night that you’ll have someone to go home to
Scared to run in case you’d hear the beating of my tired heart
Not quite able to escape through the gaps in the bars

Verse 2
How could I live with myself if I vowed to love you forever
