venerea - burns away lyrics

we went on our separate ways, there's nothing more for me to say
we reached the point where giving up & going on are the same dead end
all our hapes for something more were just games to pass the time away

& i don't wanna live that lie, there's really nothing more to say
everytime i picked you up you ran through my clutching hands
cut back, left behind i watched you, what made you so scared?
self destructive, lost perspective of what once was us
we lit the candle at both ends & it slowly burns away
i am thing of you less as time goes by
i'm cleaning up the mess you left behind in this confusing state of mind

i hope you found what you were looking for, 'cause i'm not bitter
i just found a way to see things clearer, a way to understand
[repeat chorus]
