song lyrics

How I hoped that things would be
Empty of such dark delusion.
Now, I hope that things will be
Free from all this stark confusion.

Pre-Chorus
Try to run, but you can't hide;
This fire will always burn in me.
No matter what you say to me,
My dear, I will always love you.

Chorus
Home is where the heart aches;
(I left my heart in your hands.)
It's the love that breeds and kills.
(You threw it to the ground; I watched, transfixed.)
Follow you to the end of time;
(I gave you everything, but)
When life ends, my love begins.
(You let hate abound to get your kicks.)

Now, I hope that things will be
Full of hope and love and simple childlike glee.

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

And I wonder why.
(4x)

Are you finally feeling proud?
Now you've spoken hate aloud.

Try to run, but I can't hide;
This fire will always burn in you.
No matter what I say to you,
My dear, you will always love me

Home is where the heart aches;
(I left my heart in your hands.)
It's the love that breeds and kills.
(You threw it to the ground; I watched, transfixed)
Follow you to the end of time, and
(I gave you everything, and)
It seems you'll do the same to me.
