You are the flame that lights up my candle But your heat burns me, till I melt away into nothing Your touch is like liquor, makes me drunk with pleasure But it exhausts me whenever I'm in your presence One careless word or thoughtless act from you Gets me reacting like I'm on an overdose You voice laced with impatience shatters me into pieces But I am never complete without hearing the sound of your laughter You saved my life from an ocean of loneliness But now you've got me drowning in the sorrow of you not understanding me You keep me afloat with your warm embrace But your distracted gaze leaves me in pain You are the one I want to pour my soul to But it is also with you that I feel overexposed Your fire makes me feel alive with passion But it also drives me to indulge in opium so that I can slip into a state of oblivion
