You gently squeeze her hand and don’t understand why love isn’t love Your love isn’t love She wipes away your tears and hugs away your fears but love isn’t love, your love isn’t love Your parents don’t approve and everything you lose but love isn’t love your love isn’t love You bought a wedding ring but being gay’s a sin your love isn’t love your love still isn’t love (musical interlude) Your love still isn’t love

My, My 04:19
oooh I can not breathe, when you’re watching over me it’s hard to see where I made my own mistakes and which were yours Walk into the light you might find peace Please and I must be a winner in your eyes my, my you need to sort out your priorities and breathe slow slow enough to die My, my We walked so far along this long and empty road still hard to know if what we did was wrong but I am sure that I regret it more than you are you still proud? are you still proud? The flowers grow, but the petals fall off then they die I know you know that’s it’s easier to die than stay alive No, no please don’t cry about the words that came out wrong My, my We walked so far along this long and empty road still hard to know if what we did was wrong but I am sure that I regret it more than you are you still proud? are you still proud? I can not breathe, when you’re watching over me it’s hard to see where I made my own mistakes and which were yours Walk into the light you might find peace Please

Child 04:19
He sits all alone in his bedroom at night wondering what he’s going to make of his life and it’s like a great big ball of fire in his head in the back of his mind, he knows he is dead to the world To the world To the world To the world He runs and he runs but there’s nothing but blackness and never once does it cross his mind to go back to the home that is hell and the hell that is home to the home that is hell and the hell that is home Little child, where you going? this horrible world’s going to be too much for you Why do you hang your head in shame? Through the pain, there was nothing more you could do Nothing more that you could do You could do You could do They laugh, and they laugh, and they laugh at you as you think of all the things that you could do Although violence isn’t in your bones, your anger it grows and it grows Little child, where you going? this horrible world’s going to be too much for you You need to wash the bloodstains off your hands I understand there was nothing else you could do nothing else that you could do etc etc

Dust 03:20
You broke my barriers down I still can’t cry despite your ugly frown I feel I may have drowned From all the times you’ve fucked me about ‘Cause if you loved me, why’d you break me open and rip out my heart? You can’t have loved me, if you stamped on my new start A white blank page Is what I use to get out all my rage No blood, no stains No ever lasting pain If you loved me why’d you break me open and leave me filled with dust If you loved me whyd you let me fall down and steal away my trust You left me to die and never bothered asking me why why I’m in constant pain because you know that you’re the one to blame

Your pale white hair flows gently round your face there is no item you haven’t misplaced Your wrinkled skin is peaceful now, the spark in your eyes has gone out and now you’re only skin and bones Your glasses have been left beside your bed I still can’t accept the fact that you’re dead My memories of you are here I wipe away a single tear ‘cause now you’re only skin and bones It smells of you, it’s like you’re still around not like you’re rotting deep under the ground I must accept my fate or else I’ll never learn to love myself We’re all becoming skin and bones My memory is fading now, my time’s rapidly running out and soon I will become skin and bones
