Verse 1

Nothing is as it appears,

Mirrors lie and truth disappears,

You’d never put up with me if you were you,

I know the things I put you through.

You say, “You can have him, or we take him down,”

Love’s a knife when it turns around,

Thanks for making me feel loved,

The way sins are finally judged.

Pre-Chorus

In the silence where mercy bends,

Every blessing feels like an end…

Chorus

To know for an hour you were mine completely,

I’d endure unending tortures sweetly,

Believe in all that’s false and true,

Every broken vow I ever knew.

Warm love words on ice-cold stone,

I loved you most when I was alone.

Verse 2

Blended lies and honest pain,

Shadowed hearts in crooked frames,

A tear drop starts, I lose control,

An unpardoned breach of etiquette and soul.

Life’s bitterness, it stains the page,

Day and night it haunts the cage,

I carve your name where light won’t go,

Just to feel you once more close.

Pre-Chorus

Every prayer I ever sent

Came back marked “repent.”

Chorus

To know for an hour you were mine completely,

I’d endure unending tortures sweetly,

Believe in all that’s false and true,

Every broken vow I ever knew.

Warm love words on ice-cold stone,

I loved you best when I was alone.

Bridge

The dew drops of heaven kiss the rose,

While the angel of death just quietly knows,

There’s an innermost part of bliss and blame,

Where love and ruin share the same name.

Final Chorus

To know for an hour you were mine completely,

I’d wear my sins like crowns so neatly,

Shadowed design, a holy ache,

Every promise I was too weak to break.

Warm love words on ice-cold stone…

Nothing is as it appears…

But I loved you as much as I was able to.
