Your happiness

I take a photograph
Of the scar beneath your breast
A memory from before
Isn't what you wanted but you found more.

Off the beaten path
Down a hole you build your nest
Behind closed doors
You give him what he wants but he takes more.

And I can't give what you won't take
You're not broke but you still break
They all look but they can't see
How you're longing to be free.

I take a photograph
He's here and you're a mess
Once Again
You can't run but you can't rest.

The colour drove him mad
As it fell onto your dress
A memory from before
This is what he wants and he wants more.

And I can never give what you won't take
You're full of pain, He's full of hate
Not a thing I've asked of you
Not a light to guide you through.

I see all the red
Memories flash within my head
I would run but I can't walk
You would scream but you can't talk.

And I can only give what you won't take
Just another smile you'll have to fake
Is this just the way it has to be?
It isn't what you want because it's me
It isn't what you want because it's me
He isn't what you want...

I take a photograph
Of your final breath
Missed my last chance
Now you'll have a chance to rest.

I can only give what you can't take
What I try to fix I always break
That's just the way it has to be
It isn't what you want because it's me
It isn't what you want because it's me
He isn't what you want because he's me.

I take a final breath
You're gone and I'm a mess
Burned those photographs
You left a hole inside my chest.
