rip out this pathetic excuse for a heart
end the suffering that has torn me apart
black out these eyes that burn from tears
end the voices that scream in my ears

barbedwire and bullets, take my pain away
arms are wide open, i’m begging you to stay
faced down and bleeding from this deadly romance
it’s just anohter love that never had a chance

destroy this pathetic excuse for a soul
end the suffering that’s taken control
rupture these lungs that ache for air
end the voices that whisper despair

barbedwire and bullets, hold on tight to me
arms are wide open, i’m lying underneathe
torn down and decaying from this deadly romance
it’s just another love that never had a chance

tear out this pathetic excuse for a tongue
end the suffering that swims in my blood
ignore these words that fall from my mouth
end the voices that strive in doubt

barbedwire and bullets, take my pain away
arms are wide open, i’m begging you to stay
faced down and bleeding from this deadly romance
it’s just anohter love that never had a chance

barbedwire and bullets, hold on tight to me
arms are wide open, i’m lying underneathe
torn down and decaying from this deadly romance
it’s just another love that never had a chance

i’ve never felt worse, you’ve never looked better
and i hope this is the way things stay forever
