The air was cold
D
The night I fled

Your eyes were more
Gm
Than I could take

I ran so fast

I ran like hell

And still wasn't able to escape

The picture's still fixed in my head

You played it well

Pain is sweeter

Coming from your hand

I love you

When you hurt me the most

So fell the lash, repeatedly
CmGm
The icy words cut me deep, and still
Gm
I begged for more
F
You gave no less
CmAdim
Surrendering fully to the game
Gm
You took control
D
I took the blame

You had enough so you looked away

Deprived of love, deprived of pain

No choice but to keep on sinking

Coming from your hand

When I need you the most

My heart is torn yet you smile the same

The words that free me from you
