Lyrics
Love Beaten - ©2009 Simon Paul
Don't shut me out
Don't let me in
Don't try to fix this broken thing
Don't hold me as I pull the pin
Or try to write a happy ending
To this tired story of an ordinary love
That cut you like a knife from a comfortable life
When feelings change like tides
And winter days seem longer and so much colder
The love was beaten out of me
The damage done by what and how we speak
Jealousy and drama has broken through the armour
And left these open hearts to bleed out
There is no point in holding on to
This because it's what we're used to
I was yours as you were mine
But that was in a different time
When we were aligned like wheels on a car
That travelled too fast without lights in the dark
With fear in the heart
For the love in our souls
That could damage our life
From the height we would fall
The love was beaten out of me
The damage done by what and how we speak
Jealousy and drama has broken through the armour
And left these open hearts to bleed out
We'd begin and the passion sometimes stained our skin
And we would leave patterns on the shower screen
And you would know my words before I let them go
I wish you had the strength to show
I still exist you're not alone
No no you're not alone
You decide what you want for you life
But it's hard to see far with the sun in your eyes
And you're not alone
Not alone
The love was beaten out of me
The damage done by what and how we speak
The love was beaten out of me
The damage done by what and how we speak
You decide what you want for you life
But it's hard to see far with the sun in your eyes
