lyrics

MARRIED TO FATE (English)

I want to be alone with you
And say the things that you would rather not hear
I want to be alone with you
And tour the corners where you keep your fear
I want to peel back layer on layer on layer on layer of personality
I want to hold in my hand that man that little toy fragile toy you must be
I'm gonna turn my back on you
Until you tell me what I want to know
I'm gonna turn my back on you
For today you reap what you used to sow
I want to break you on down, down around my feet like the dirt that you are to me
Want you to know how it goes when your lifeline crumbles at your feet like honesty
Oh, you should have played nice, now we both have a cross to bear
Why didn't you think twice? How could you be so unfair?
All I ever did was love you. Love surely makes for purest hate
With a single decision you married us both to fate
I've had about enough of you
Yes, I have satisfied my appetite
I've had about enough of you
Well, maybe I could manage one more bite
It seems the tide has turned have you learned you get burned if you play with fire long enough?
The Man of Steel has a heel like Achilles and it seems to me you never were all that tough
