Only Through The Pain lyrics

I saw you in the garden
I wanted you so much
I really thought that you were different
Oh I, couldn't get enough
I tried to save you from yourself
I felt every high and low
But the low's have drowned the high's away
Now there's no where else to go

Black rose, your thorns are cutting into me, for the last time
Black rose, I watched your petals wilt away, I couldn't bring you back to life

I was sick of restrictions, sick of the boundaries
About to close the door
Such a lack of conviction, no real connection
What should I settle for?
But you caught my attention, you built on the tension
And you left me wanting more
Now I don't know what to do with myself, do with myself
I don't want nobody else

I let you in, I let you in, and you infected me

You must have pulled the trigger
your eyes give you away
The gun in your hand still smoking
you don't have to take the blame
you have to do what you have to do
you know I'd never judge you
still time to close those eyes
forget what happened, forget you lied

[bridge]
Put the mask back on, put the mask back on
Don't take it off till everbodies gonne
Put the mask back on, put the mask back on

Everybody turn your cameras on
look who's on the run, the night is young
and this time its more than just for fun

let me know, let me know how far you take it
let me know, let me know I'll watch you break it

[bridge]
Don't you know you're diggin too deep, too deep
tonight there's a little to much for you to hide
when you've had enough to fill the emptyness inside

I know I've got to try to look to better days
Well I don't feel right, yeah you know it's not the same
The weather here was nice but the sun has gonne away tell me why those clear skies so suddenly
have changed

[bridge]
I dont know where I am going
I just hope I'm not alone
Oh I hope I'm not alone
Cause in this space theres no room for me to be sheltered from the cold

I've been searchin all my life I used to be so color blind you opened up
my eyes
Do you want to share your dreams, see a different side of me your
everything I need

[bridge]
I like it when you think out loud
the things you say when you know
there is no one else around
I can dig my own graves now
but will you smile every time
I try to crawl my way out

[chorus]
There is no one like you

Are you having trouble keeping up?
Seeing this thing through?
I want to know who you're running from,
Me or you?
You're too confused to open up,
Feel the way I do
I want to know who you're thinking of
Cause I really have no clue

Another game of charades
Don't you know everybody plays?
I don't want to lose to you that way
Maybe we'll be different this time around

Sharp pain when you breathe in deep
No one to catch your insecurities
You cling to the sadness in your dreams
Being happy is something you don't need

You know how to play that game
Even though you're the only one who plays
So attached to the feelings that you fake
Your weakness is your only strength

[bridge]
Your so emotional, yet
I don't think you feel anything
So conversational everytime

You don't ever ask me why
you don't read the signs
you give me way too many reasons
for me to wanna get high

Standing tall between my four walls
and I'm about to fall
so look into me eyes and i say it all

[bridge]
I am lost, I am lost
so crucify me on your cross
whats the cost, whats the cost
to erase what I've been taught
Get off my back dont attack
So what if I fell off the tracks

Hold me under water,
your hands around my neck
are you takin me out on me cause
we have nothing left
we both went through it no use for regrets
So young and stupid and we can't forget

[bridge]
Well I'll see you again
I will, I will find you
I'll taste you again
I do, I do love you

Wherever she goes, ever she goes
I'll be wherever she goes, ever she goes
I'll be wherever she goes, ever she goes

Don't think we ever really got it right
Both you and I have always kept it bottled up inside
Can you show me what it feels like to give yourself away?
Why can't I hold onto you?

There is no one around who picks me up when I'm down like you do
And when you can't hear a sound will the silence drown you too?

Who's going home with you tonight?
Was it real or am I part of your collection?
