This Is As Close As I Get To Love Lyrics - Singles - The Nightmare Scenario

Cold winter night 

Between sheets and ceiling bed and floor 

I took the sharpest knife 

In my drawer and went for the kill 

And as you doubled over 

Reeling from the cut 

The feeling I won faded fast 

Like the last bits of summer into fall 

Like the sand from the ocean with the tide 

I gathered up your body 

And pulled it close to mine 

Felt you sobbing in agony 

Felt your heart turn to stone under mine 

You said through dying lips 

You'd wish me well 

I left you laying there 

And headed out 

Into the night 

Feeling the bitterness that comes 

With winning another fight 

With blood still on my hands 

I walked on through 

Avenues 

Alleyways 

And 

Shadow littered streets
