Your voice used to slam like a hammer
Against my eardrums
All that lousy grammar
Just to make my head go numb
And with every word
Every slip of the tongue
My heart sunk a little deeper
You've kept me from being young
The times that you were gone
Were the times that I could breath
But you never stayed away long enough
For all those wounds to heal
You have carved a hole in my heart
The kind that will never close again
You were there at the start
And you'll be there in the end
It's your blood
That runs through my veins
But when you raised hell
I was the one to pay
Stranger than the madness
Was the love I never knew
Sometimes it felt that I was only there
To pick myself up for round two
Nothing new under the sun
Just another violent riot
And maybe after all
Something was missing in your diet
You have carved a hole in my heart
The kind that will never close again
You were there at the start
And you'll be there in the end
You have carved a hole in my heart
The kind that will never close again
You were there at the start
And you'll be there in the end
You were like a ghost
Showing up at ungodly hours
Spreading your diseases
From high up in your tower
But I never found the cure
Never found the right pills
You just left me there bleeding
Like time you could kill
You have carved a hole in my heart
The kind that will never close again
You were there at the start
And you'll be there in the end
You have carved a hole in my heart
The kind that will never close again
You were there at the start
And you'll be there in the end
