I want, I want, I wanted to

You came to grind me into stone
Polishing the angled flesh and bone
The smallest cut to drain my soul
Precious words of comfort swallowed whole

Oh no she said
I tried for love
And I died for love
But I'd kill for you

I want, I want, I wanted to

You tore the makeup from my face
With every acid word you ever knew
Now every line and crack exposed
Exploited fully till each scar shone through

Oh no she said
I tried for love
And I died for love
But I'd kill for you
I never said I'd promise anything
That's alright, I know you wanted to
I never meant to promise anything
That's alright, I know you wanted to
I never ever promised anything
That's alright, I know you wanted to be with me

You came to grind me into stone
Polishing the angled flesh and bone
The smallest cut to drain my soul
Precious words of comfort swallowed whole

Strip me from the top down
Rip me from the raw
Into this higher place
Don't want to die
