You always told me,

F o r e v e r,

I s a r o u g h p l a c e...
I always believed that

I o n l y w a n t e d,
One thing,in my world.

O n e m o r e t a s t e..
Would be too long of a drink.

To be hurt and held,
higher and higher,
before the ice climbs,

O n e b i t t e r s i p,

A n d y o u l o s e y o u r b a l a n c e.

It's comforting,
You know they'll stay.
But,when they've found what you've hidden,

W h o r e a l l y o p e n e d t h a t d o o r?
