For What She Is

Her words are the thunders
That paint the walls of this house
And I’m sitting here, missing
Every wrinkle of her frowns.
Her eyes are the fire
Crackling loudly in my room
But I’m frozen beside it
And my hands are turning blue.

She’s just a disaster
Smiling back to my tears
As I’m trying to remove the knife
She abandoned between my ribs
Though I do still feel the need
To hear her voice in my sleep
Though she’s so cruel sometimes
And she’s still on my mind.

Because she hates
Everything about me
And I still hate
Loving her for what she is
'Cause she’s the bitter smile
You wear when days fall apart.

She’s biting her tongue
To let me sing through this song
And I’m standing here shivering
Carefully choosing my words.
Her stare is a chainsaw
Blindly diving into my chest
But she looks great tonight
And I’m so scared to say it

Because she hates
Everything about me
And I still hate
Loving her for what she is
'Cause she’s the bitter smile
You wear when days fall apart.

Because she hates
Loving me the way she does
And I still love
Loving her for what she is
'Cause we’re the greatest thing
That ever happened to us.
