he only loved my rose colored lips and the small of my back
but i wanted his heart more than i wanted my own
so i gave him my all, my flesh and my bones
used and abused, his soft touch made me bleed
my skin ain’t as soft as it once used to be
and even though my heart of gold had faded to black
i always went back, i always went back
but as the years went on his touch became cold
his eyes became dark, his hands i could not hold
next thing i knew his nails had turned to claws
his touch began to hurt me, left me covered in scars
but i didn’t want to leave him because i knew his "heart"
the abuse wasn’t his fault, he was just "falling apart"
maybe if i loved him more i could save him, just a shred
but he was so far gone, the man i once loved was dead
my black heart he once held he now dropped on the floor
like he never even cared for me, that i was just his whore
i was used and abused, he made me bleed from every pore
my skin now dyed from all the red and now so soft just like velour
and though i have a shattered heart as black and dark as coal
i’ll always love what was left of his soul,
i’ll always love what was left of his soul
for colby
