Lover

If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover That what you had is shattered and wasted Did you have to take it so far? The truth exposed to love is devoured And the ivory tower is coming down I felt betrayed and order is broken The wounds are open and bleeding out But it's all I can do to carry on It brings all I fear to life If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover That what you had is shattered and wasted Did you have to take it so far? Should you have to throw it all away? Did you have to shove it in my face? Did you have to tear my world apart? Did you have to take so selfishly? No matter how you hurt the ones you need? Did you have to fall so very far? Should you have to throw it all away? Did you have to shove it in my face? Did you have to tear my world apart? Did you have to take so selfishly? No matter how you hurt the ones you need? Did you have to fall so very far? The trigger's warm, the chamber is loaded Lost in the moment. What went wrong? There's nothing left this house has been broken But still I'm holding, I'm holding on If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover That what you had is shattered and wasted Did you have to take it so far? If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover You can see it in your love The wounds are open and I'm bleeding out It's so real If you deny the wounds of your lover you will discover That what you had is shattered and wasted Did you have to take it so far? --- Lover - Alter Bridge
