Tiger Rosa - That's The Way Love Dies lyrics

That's the way love dies... It starts when you're a kid hiding in your room Trying to forget. Decide and then a**ume That Everyone's a threat. Names go in a book Fire in the eyes. Flames show in a look Burns a hole right through and out the other side Days were filled with shame while my mother cried I fell into a trap. Been in it ever since I've seen a lot of things. Still I'm unconvinced But I know the Devil's real He's got a pretty voice and plays the pedal steel He visits me at night when I'm sleeping like a log I find it hard to breathe. Beaten like a dog d**h comes from above. Nothing underneath Another one released. The number of the beast Staring at the sun. The need to clear the air Everything at once. A little here and there Chorus: Love drained my heart dry. That's the way love dies Tears fall from your eyes. That's the way love dies That's the way love dies Yeah, that's the way it goes. The pounding of the drums Waiting for a train - a train that never comes Silence of the moon. Violence of the stars Pedal to the floor. The science of the heart Picking of the flowers. Handling of snakes Breaking of the rules. Gambling. Mistakes The ugly head is reared. I wonder who to call Nowhere else to turn, fist goes through a wall ... Acting just like kids Cutest little girl, knife between the ribs Wander in the dark. Pacing in a cage Removal of her beauty, replacing it with rage So much on her mind, probably more than most Run away from home, turn into a ghost Promise that was made that day was such a joke The whole thing disappeared in a puff of smoke [Chorus] Little here and there. Almost over night When you look away. Right before your eyes Lying in your bed. When you least expect
