Hey honey what you trying to say
As I stand here
Don't you walk away
And the world comes tumbling down
Hand in hand in a violent life
Making love on the edge of a knife
And the world comes tumbling down
And it's hard
For me to say
And it's hard
For me to stay
I'm going down
To be by myself
I'm going back
For the good of my health
And there's one thing
I couldn't do
Sacrifice myself to you
Sacrifice
Baby baby I just can't see
Just what you mean to me
I take my aim and I fake my words
I'm just your long time curse
And if you walk away
I can't take it
But that's the way that you are
And that's the things that you say
But now you've gone too far
With all the things you say
Get back to where you come from
I can't help it
Under the April skies
Under the April sun
Sun grows cold
Sky gets black
And you broke me up
And now you won't come back
Shaking hand, life is dead
And a broken heart
And a screaming head
Under the April sky

    Song Meaning:I think this song it pretty much about being in a sick relationship, not for a partner fault but simply for his/her way of being. It kinda express a feeling like "for a long time I was in love with you and I wasn't able to say no, it's not your fault it's ok, it's just that I can't live like this anymore".
    The "I'm just your long time curse" means (in my opinion, of course) that you really understand that your parner doesen't love you, he/her is just obsessed by you in a certain way, but this has nothing to do with affection.

    "and there's one thing
    i couldnt do
    sacrifice myself to you
    sacrifice
    baby baby i just can't see

    i take my aim and i fake my words
    i'm just your long time curse"

    General Comment:This one's written from the perspective of Mary Magdalene, who's upset that Jesus "broke up" with her. Either that or taking crystal meth. Knowing these guys, probably both.

    General Comment:this song pretty much sums up my last relationship. he kept trying to assure me that he was okay with my late night phone calls, that he was okay with my feeling that i needed him, but i could never trust him/"sacrifice myself to you". he was still messing around with girls. so i walked off. now we're trying to be friends, and i still want to feel insecure sometimes.
    It all started in April.
