She's a creature, who sold me the night
I'm defeated, hung out to dry
I competed, only to find
I was beaten down, and feelings I drowned
Morning, when she returns
As I wake up, I wait for the storm
And the fever, pounding me weak
I try stand up, bound at the knees
I can feel her, my wrist to my back
And the shivers down my spine as she speaks
I'd be silent, fool that I am
As she told me then, the reason she cared
I could waste it, losing my mind
I could let it go, and trust in her love
I could change it, leave on my path
But to leave her now, would tear her apart
I conceded, just don't know what's right
I would let her know, just to help me decide
I can see now, why she held me round
I could let her go, but it wouldn't be right now
Let go, I'm saying the words
You should lay me down, I'm starting to learn
I could leave here, a moment I choose
But to leave here now, you'd hang by a noose
Can I end it, hand me a rock
And I bet you now, that I'll never look back
And I could feel it, her love and her cries
But I can spare the dark, we're just spinning around now
