Your blood lik

And there's a 

           
cold lonely li

s from you
           
You'll wind up

              
 like the wrec

      
k you hide
            
Behind that ma

sk you use

And if you nee

You starting d

              
own the road, 

        
leaving me aga

in
           
The threats yo

              
u made were me

              
ant to cut me 


down
           
And if our lov

ircus
           
You'd be a clo

wn by now
