I Never Promised To Stay

Ooh
You gave me fire, I didn't ask
But I smiled and watched you slip off the mask
You called it fate, I called it fun
You prayed for me under a villain Sun

I never kissed you to heal
I never touched you to feel
I only whispered sweet things
So you'd beg me not to kill

I never promised to stay
But you still built me a throne anyway
Laid your chest out, played side up
Then called it love and drank the cup

I never needed your name
But I carved it deeper, all the same
I told you I'd leave when I'm done
And darling, I'm not even halfway gone

You write poems with your blood
But I dip my nails in it like mud
You ain't so pretty when you lose
That's why I let you choose

I never promised to stay
But you still burned for me anyway
Let you worship every scar
And blamed me when you fell too far

I never promised a net
You were just one more broken bet
But you begged for the Sun to win
So I gave you what I ruined best
