lyrics

the love of a man is different
the love of a mother is something else
the love that I have is nothing less
nothing less

whenever you hold on too tight
whenever you let go too easy
whatever the reason, it's meaningless
meaningless

I run and I run to find peace of mind
whatever I do with the pieces I find
I throw them into the water and let them decay
I watch them fade away

they told me to stay away from him
that I could not possess him
they told me that I would burn my skin
if I would let him in

I never stood up for myself
I never told them this is what I wanted
I never was sure how it all would end
but it would end

whenever I held on too tight
whenever I let go too easy
I had my reasons, but they're all meaningless
they're all meaningless

they told me to stay away from him
that I could not possess him
they told me that I would burn my skin
if I would let him in

they warned me to stay away from him
that I could not possess him
they warned me that "you will burn your skin"
but I won't let them win

and they devour
every minute of every day
they crawl they crawl with their claws on my back
I can't get away

and I have walked this road
I've given it all away
I've called I've called your name in the dark
but they took you away

they told me to stay away from him
that I could not possess him
they told me that I would burn my skin
if I would let him in

'cause they know I'd give him everything
and he would give me nothing
but to have him, that is everything
when I cannot possess him
