Running away don't make it easier Numbing my senses only makes me wonder why Did I believe it would last forever Up to the moment where you turned and walked away Cold grip 'round my throat Strangled by the hands of love (the hands of love) Cold grip 'round my throat Strangled by the hands of love, the hands of love Sleepless nights keep getting creepier Turning the tide just seems impossible right now Saving myself, it's now or never Today and tomorrow Trying so hard to find a way (find a way) Cold grip 'round my throat Strangled by the hands of love (the hands of love) Cold grip 'round my throat Strangled by the hands of love, the hands of love Trying to stay afloat Drowning in the sea of love (the sea of love) Reach for the heavens above Dying on the cross of love, the cross of love Got me strangled by the hands of love Got me strangled by the hands of love Cold grip 'round my throat Strangled by the hands of love (the hands of love) Cold grip 'round my throat Strangled by the hands of love, the hands of love Trying to stay afloat Drowning in the sea of love (the sea of love) Reach for the heavens above Dying on the cross of love, the cross of love I'm strangled, I'm strangled I'm strangled by the hands of love I'm strangled, I'm strangled I'm strangled by the hands of love I'm drowning, I'm drowning I'm drowning in the sea of love I'm dying, I'm dying I'm dying on the cross of love
