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 and going on are the same dead end
All our hapes for something more were just games to pass the time away

and 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 and 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]
