Kenan Flannery

Burn all the pages 
Get rid of the words 
I don’t want them to know 
What it is that I’ve heard 

Your friendly remarks 
Try to clear the loose ends 
But our love has been tainted 
By the touch of another man 

I will wish for no more 
I will pray to no god 
All the pain that I had 
Was numbed by your charm 
But the nights they grow old 
And the story unfolds 
And my heart can not hold 
The lies you told to me 

Forgive and forget 
Is all that I’ve done 
But when you keep reoffending 
Should I step up and run 
It’s a dreary winter 
Too cold to be alone 
Depending on the bottle 
Too weak to feel proud 

I will wish for no more 
I will pray to no god 
All the pain that I had 
Was numbed by your charm 
But the nights they grow old 
And the story unfolds 
And my heart can not hold 
The lies you told to me 

There’s wolves at the door 
There’s demons below 
The bears are all roaring 
They want to swallow me whole 
I haven't done much but 
It feels like I’m done 
Mentally wasted 
Too drunk to care much 
The screaming is endless 
The love is no more 
The drugs are numbing 
My body and soul 
But it won’t last forever 
Not a smile has been earned 
I’m too weak to be able 
Too broke to be cured  

I will wish for no more 
I will pray to no god 
All the pain that I had 
Was numbed by your charm 
But the nights they grow old 
And the story unfolds 
And my heart can not hold 
Oh my heart can not hold 
Oh my heart can not hold 
Oh my heart can not hold 
Oh my heart can not hold 
The lies that you’ve told to me
