Lyrics

Sacred Heart


It seems the ones I love the most are the ones I?ve pushed away
That everyone who needs me?s only worthy of my hate
And all those angels sent to love me have all been cast to darkness because they do.


I feel I need to hurt you so you begin to understand all the pain
I?ve fought against to be alive today
It wasn?t you who hurt me, no, I know you never would
But you must know suffering before I love you in return


You must think I?m very special for at times I?ve been a devil
I?m now less and less concerned by your possible duplicity
Since you?ve tolerated agony to ease my insecurity


It seems the ones I love the most are the ones I?ve pushed away
That everyone who needs me?s only worthy of my hate
And all those angels sent to love me have all been cast to darkness because they do.


I knew love as an optional delusion
For fools and those with easy lives and idle time
Convinced was I that troubled times would prove too much for happy minds
I refused to let anyone near till you knew rejection, betrayal and despair
At times I made that introduction to test your strength and loyalty
My cruel, sadistic ?honor? bestowed on only those most dear to me


Many souls have been discarded litering the path I?ve walked
Few possessed what I require, even less what I desire
Consolation?s bittersweet for those of you who?ve passed my test
Though I aspire to your perfection I?m human at very best?


?Though you must think I?m very special for at times I?ve been a devil
I?m now less and less concerned by your possible duplicity
Since you?ve tolerated agony to ease my insecurity


It seems the ones I love the most are the ones I?ve pushed away
That everyone who needs me?s only worthy of my hate
And all those angels sent to love me have all been cast to darkness because they do.
