THE LYRICS:
When
first I met you
I gave you a promise
That I would do anything
To keep you happy
Now when I make a promise
I always see to it
There’s a playground in my head
And you crash your way through it
Chorus:
So why do my arms hurt?
For my love.
Why do my legs hurt?
For my love.
All I wanna do is love you…
My love
Has made me a prisoner
Of his dark mind…
I am not
a drug
Still you like to use
We both become addicted
To the abuse
Now when I make a promise
That’s something I keep
But needles and knife wounds
They cut through my sleep…
Repeat Chorus
I’d
give you my world but I don’t know how
You told your dreams to me
Not a voodoo doll.
