Dead To Me

Musicians need writers and writers need musicians.

First you flirt

Then the kiss that leads to hurt

Dragged me into your maze

Full of colours like a sunset

Love twisted my brain

Painting me by numbers

Waiting for the illusion to dry

Your picture perfect colours faded

Made to gamble on your fixed bet

Stealing the worlds dreams from inside my head.

It was like a game of hide and seek

That you played on me

I was dancing in the rain

While everyone passed by just to laugh 

And tears all look the same

But the pain comes from a different place

I couldn’t believe

And my mind tried

But was tangled in hidden misery

Your eyes always looked so friendly.

(Pre-Chorus)

Now you’re dead to me

My hearts gone

And I’m not looking

For another one

To the good times that never last

And f**k all your friends

Who said I shouldn’t have.

(Chorus)

Just burn away our memories

Why do I always get love so wrong

When it feels so f*****g strong

I thought it was me 

But it’s been your fault all along

I hope you hurt

Until our memories are forever gone

To hell with you and all of our songs

Hide behind your hollow eyes

Please just let this pain die

With all your lies

That you brought into my life

It’s over now

But your sting is still left behind.

 

I’m not trying

But it’s hard not to care

Like the sun is out

But the shine’s not there

My heaven is gone

The devil is left in my ear

To the end of love

Drunk on wine

I thought we’d kiss until the end of time

You pretended to be

Your stain kisses me.

Your heart doesn’t know to love like mine.

(Pre-Chorus)

Now you’re dead to me

My hearts gone

And I’m not looking

For another one

To the good times that never last

And f**k all your friends

Who said I shouldn’t have.

(Chorus)

Just burn away our memories

Why do I always get love so wrong

When it feels so f*****g strong

I thought it was me 

But it’s been your fault all along

I hope you hurt

Until our memories are forever gone

To hell with you and all of our songs.

(Bridge)

Now you wait by the phone

Drunk all alone

Thoughts of regret

For what you did to me

For everyone to see

Fades away like when 

You killed all my hopes and dreams.

You’re so cool now

A lovely killing machine

Take your medicine

Cruel as the games you played

Just to win nothing.

Head down in your hole

Let the devil in 

Sell what’s left of your soul

For your god damn memories are a sin

Cutting through your mind

The seeds of what you left to begin.

I hope your regret last

Long enough to haunt

Your futures past

Just go on, get along

And kiss my f*****g a*s.

(Pre-Chorus)

Now you’re dead to me

My hearts gone

And I’m not looking

For another one

To the good times that never last

And f**k all your friends

Who said I shouldn’t have.

(Chorus)

Just burn away our memories

Why do I always get love so wrong

When it feels so f*****g strong

I thought it was me 

But it’s been your fault all along

I hope you hurt

Until our memories are forever gone

To hell with you and all of our songs.

Your imaginary love

It's just so damn sad.

Your game is over

You’re on your own

You’re dead to me

Leave my heart alone

You’re dead to me.

Lies never last

You’re dead to me,
