Bite of Eternity - If you're not mine (Acoustic Version)

I carved your name In the walls of my small room Built bars from my own veins Turned my heartbeat into a lock I thought I’d have you Always in my shadow Tried to chain your breathing ’Til your silence split my skull You slipped through the bars I made Keys I forged just turned to rust All my pretty Poisoned words Crumbled into dust If you’re not mine Nobody can have you If you're not mine Nobody can have you I wrapped my hands Around a ghost that never asked to stay Tried to keep you with me But love can’t be forced It rots that way I twisted your reflection ’Til you doubted your own eyes Pulled your strings like fragile wires Just to feel you close at night Manipulation wasn’t enough You still reached for the door Your courage was the cutting edge My grip fell to the floor All this control Was just me Afraid of being alone High walls A kingdom of one You managed to escape You tore through my cage I wanted your forever But I only gave you chains Soft hands can bruise Quiet words can bite I called it love But it was hunger That drove you out into the night I tried to keep you with me But love can’t be forced It tears itself apart And leaves you with the corpse
