What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse cover

The Middle Goes Down testo

Cold winter cuts – a heart that couldn’t heal
destroyed by it’s own stupidity
a frozen smile – cracks backing frigid lies
I shelter beneath a veil of happiness – a delicate facade
and snow falls as to bury what we had
everything we left behind
although your loving eyes – have left my gaze forever
they’ve been captured in my sleep – although this vacant heart
can’t go on any longer – I feel your soft breath in my dreams
but it shall not be – I cannot shake these feelings
I can’t renounce – this love for you is all I know
I am controlled by sorrow – my hope forever lost
bested by my weakness – will the spring’s warmth never come?
And the snow
still heaping on this broken back
I am lost within its persistence
you took the meaning
from this withered soul
I have no strength without your touch
and so it was – and can never be again
and so it was – and will never ever be again.
Lost – this love for you is all I know.
Weakness – will the spring’s warmth never come?
A little child crying – from the bunk below
I still love you – I can’t cut that tie from my life
love born in regret? Was our blight carved into stone?
The stone that lines my heart – I wish I never loved you
cold sweat and eaten nails – I did this all for you.
A broken heart – a clenched fist full of hair – I did this all for you
and any other embrace – will just turn into shit
in the shadow of our former love
I’d trade a bloody wrist – to live forever in those nights
but the deed hath still been done
