helpless heartbreak

here's the truth
the light dulls in my eyes
the limited mind that only cries for your mercy
give me mercy and I'll eat your heart
I can't finish what I started
retarded 'cause I'm broken hearted
I left the passion up to you
to fuel this decay
I've forgotten how to play

and I'm set up for the helpless heartbreak
a sucker for the hunger and the heartache
now I'm living through helpless heartbreak
it waits for everyone helpless heartbreak

you took my liberty
I'm not free to be my slack-mouthed sorry for myself self
I don't like who I see in the mirror
I'm embarrassed by the things it says
believing in romance, there's no reason
although they're giving in to terminal security this season
pacing in a circle
tied down to the cycle
relying on illusions of a love that saves your soul
but if you're a coward who's afraid of control

set up for the helpless heartbreak
a sucker for the hunger and the heartache
now I'm living through helpless heartbreak
it waits for everyone helpless heartbreak
