Send "This Love" Ringtone to Cell

If ever words were spoken
Painful and untrue
I said I loved but I lied
In my life
All I wanted
Was the keeping
Of someone like you
As it turns out
Deeper within me
Love was twisted and pointed at you

Never ending pain, quickly ending life

[Chorus]
You keep this love, thing, child, toy
You keep this love, fist, scar, break
You keep this love

I'd been the tempting one
Stole her from herself
This gift in pain
Her pain was life
And sometimes I feel so sorry
I regret this the hurting of you
But you make me so unhappy
I'd take my life and leave love with you

I'd kill myself for you, I'd kill you for myself

[Chorus]

No more head trips

    General Comment:Its a guy who never could express his love to his girl. Who in turn never realized he loved her. Both silently suffered. But he made a song about it. And the boy likes to blame for he has suffered A LOT.

    Song Meaning:This song is a prequel to Cemetery Gates if you examine it closely. He loved her despite all the pain she had caused him in a bombastic relationship (I know what it's like, one of my exes had histrionic personality disorder), and he can't forget about it even though it's officially over.

    My Interpretation:I think this is about a guy who had a perfect girlfriend, maybe a wife even. All he wanted was to love her and keep her but he couldnt. He screwed up due to his nature and cant help it. She made him unhappy but he feels responsible of the pain he caused her. The relationship/love was twisted.

    General Comment:this is an awesome song. unfortunatly it means we need to go to couseling because if you're willing to kill yourself for me or kill me for yourself then there are some serious unsolved issues. Ill see you there. bye bye.

    General Comment:this song is about a a guy that loved a girl so much that she started to manipulate him and he's been blinded by love all that time. now that hes aware of the situation and he turns away. the probleme is that he can't stop loving her. "id kill myself for you, id kill you for myself" means that he loves her so much that he'd kill himself for her but in same time, the only way to get rid of her in his life would be to kill her. fist, scar, break; thats the way he feels love now. it happened to me to feel like this:P
