I couldn't change your mind,
I tried to keep you at a distance,
But you should never be surprised,
After all you know when blood,
Hot with victory,
Meets with hearts cold with loss.
You know they shatter into pieces,
And you've got nothing left but glass.
Because I didn't love you right from the start,
You want to blow this whole prison apart,
Some people run for years and never get caught,
I guess I didn't know you as well as I thought.
Willing prisoner,
That you released so long ago,
With your principles so high,
But your tactics so low
You've got to keep your disappointments,
Close to the surface,
Every muted defeat
That you keep hidden inside,
The cracking mirror underneath.
Because I didn't love you right from the start,
You want to blow this whole prison apart,
Some people run for years and never get caught,
I guess I didn't know you as well as I thought.
