Ghost Town

My darling, I'm not who you thought I was,

but will you love me anyway?

I'm not who you thought I was,

but neither are you!

Neither are you!

With the walls torn down,

your heart's nothing but a city that's been conquered, 

just like mine.

With the walls torn down,

there's nothing but chaos and skeletons losing limbs.

Scattered bones everywhere--

I find what's left of you piled in a corner,

with teary eyes and broken ribs,

you cried "love me",

crawling like an infant,

too weak to stand.

You cry like a baby,

just wanting to be loved.

I cry like a baby,

just wanting to be held--

but we are the neglected children

left in the basement,

and we will forever remain hungry.

You cried "love me,"

and I put you on my shoulders, and proceeded to walk out of this ghost town.

My bones, they break every ten minutes or so,

but we make pit stops and repair them,

with pretty words and pretty dreams.

"I love you" you whisper in my ear,

and my heart breaks right through my chest--

we now share matching battle wounds.

My heart breaks right through my chest--

I dust it off and hand it to you;

With the walls torn down,

my heart's nothing but a conquered city,

just like yours.

My heart's nothing but a conquered city--

darling, crown yourself king.
