Album: Caged Bird

Erase You

I don't need your false affection
I don't need your serpent smiles
Drawing me into your garden
The devil hides behind angel eyes
I'll erase you from my memory
I'll delete you from my mind
I had to close my eyes to how I felt
To realize that I was blind
I don't need your razor blade caresses
Those subtle cuts upon my soul
And I'm not gonna put myself in prison
For something that you stole
You know there's no poison in this venom
And there's no hatred in these words
It's the pain that sparks this fire
And swells the river of fuel it burns
I'll erase you from my memory
I'll delete you from my mind
I had to close my eyes to how I felt
To realize that I was blind
And don't need another nail in my coffin
And I don't need a stake through my heart
And I don't need you to keep telling me
That what I did drove us apart
I don't need your candy-coated love
Sweet at first, bitter inside
And I don't need to mend your broken wings
If you won't try once more to fly
A closed casket for our twisted love
And I'm alone to mourn this loss
I built this with unknowing hands
Now I alone must bear this cross
I'll erase you from my memory
I'll delete you from my mind
I had to close my eyes to how I felt
To realize that I was blind
I'll erase you
I'll delete you
I'll erase you
I'll erase you
I'll delete you
I'll erase you
