While Love Died - Northward

You love me, you hate me, would you please decide

We’ve fed hatred through the things we didn’t say

I guess honesty sometimes really breaks things up

I love you, I hate you and can’t I decide what feels better when darkness has

devoured light

But I fail to believe this is also you ---

When it’s black!

When all you see and do is black

This raging part of you breaks me down

A blinded hate marked within your soul

Black or white

Love or fight

Hate can taint our brightest memory

Black or white

Anguished pride

What if all stayed the same

Was that better?

Black and white turned to grey

Is that better?

We hurt the ones we love the most

What if we turned the tide

Will it matter?

What if we left out pride

Would that better withered hope and mourn the love that’s turned black

When you’re okay, you’re smiling and you’re doing fine

You can charm and lure, make me remember why

But that could be a facade to get what you need

When you’re not fine, you’re raging, your face like a mask

Eyes filled with fire seem to burn me down, as a dark opponent to your smiles

And I’m scared!

In fear and rage I turn away

I’ve seen too much of this to know your games

I’ve had too much

I have to let you go

Goodbye

Black or white, while love died

No in between or grey for you

Black or white, all tears dried

What face will you put up this time?

What if all stayed the same

Was that better?

Black and white turned to grey

Is that better?

We hurt the ones we love the most

What if we turned the tide

Will it matter?

What if we left out pride

Would that better withered hope and mourn the love that’s turned black

Black or white, while love died

What if all stayed the same

Was that better?

Black and white turned to grey

Is that better?

We hurt the ones we love the most

What if we turned the tide

Will it matter?

What if we left out pride

Would that better withered hope and mourn the love that’s turned black
