lyrics

BLINK

I've been passing time
turning thoughts to letters
that pass before your eyes
in worlds of black and white

'Guess there's no compromise,
no way to make this better
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I tried
No comprehension could I render

And there is a hurt that's unspoken
It's a monster I've tried to deface
I can't sleep; I can't wake from this nightmarish state
because love does not end with a blink
No, love does not end with a blink

I've been passing time
turning journal pages
Here's where love is defined:
It's about wanting them near
It's about compromise
It's about them always there in the back of your mind
Love is not altruistic,
but it demands sacrifice

And this is the hurt that's unspoken
'cause you told me my anger's misplaced
I can't sleep; I can't wake from this nightmarish state
because love does not end with a blink
Real love does not end with a blink

So don't you dare tell me you loved me
when you don't even know what love is!
I can't sleep; I can't wake from this nightmarish state
I keep clawing my skin and my hands start to shake
and when night falls I'm drowning in waves of heartache

Love
End
Blink

Love
End
Blink
