Bitter Kiss Goodnight

We met while stuck in Purgatory
wandering  in our different worlds
You were bouncing on your way off heaven
and I was struggling my own way out of hell

To love is not obligatory
but can I feed on hate alone?
You're the picture of youth and beauty baby
and I'm the rotting, aging soul

So pretty handsome, so pretty vain
you laughed at my standing in the rain
and then you noticed I wanted to drown

So oddly distant, so madly brave
I was running to catch my train
and then I realised I had fallen down

And you were musing
over my lame excuses
so ignorant of how life abuses
the one who hates losing

But Prince Charming
this biting peasant should seem alarming
the battle has left me with scars deep-running
and I can't let you flee at their sight
so I'll give you a bitter kiss goodnight

Let me teach you the art of dying
I'll do if you show me how to live
I'll go for a freefall, but you were born flying
so will you please give me a reason to believe?

The way I go is easily predicted
I am addicted to tears and hurt
You're too naive to see the pain inflicted
your innocence is all I must protect

So pretty handsome, so pretty vain
you laughed at me standing in the rain
and then you noticed I wanted to drown

So oddly distant, so madly brave
I was running to catch my train
and then I realised I had fallen down

And you were musing
over my lame excuses
so ignorant of how life abuses
the one who hates losing

But Prince Charming
this biting peasant should seem alarming
the battle has left me with scars deep-running
and I can't let you flee at their sight
so I'll give you a bitter kiss goodnight
