All The Love That's Come Undone

It's the same old thing
that's been around centuries through
all the love that's come undone
betrayal from the one who steals

And it's not the final cost
when you think it's finally all in the past
they always seem to sneak some payment in
thinking you still owe them something for their deceit

So why has it come down to this
treated lower than a human being ever should
I can't go on, my fingers bleeding to the bone
how much farther do I have to fall
before you will just leave me alone

I just can't keep up this charade anymore
what you wanted you took when you left out the door
keeping tabs on my new love so you know the score
appearing from nowhere when I'm down
my wounds you know are too deep to withstand

And it's not the final cost
when you think it's finally all in the past
they always seem to sneak some payment in
thinking you still owe them something for their deceit

They come looking for you
because they don't have anything better to do
their own lives are in dismay as they cover up hate
trying to transfer their guilt and remorse
to their prey they're currently fixated upon

And it's the same old thing
that's been around centuries through
all the love that's come undone
betrayal from the one who steals

So why has it come down to this
treated lower than a human being ever should
I can't go on, my fingers bleeding to the bone
how much farther do I have to fall
before you will just...just leave me alone
