Description
Rising to overcome living the lie of "I don't deserve any better than this", the character of this song does just that. Out of the pit of codependency and emotional blackmail; out of a relationship that kills rather than nurtures; she claims her right to live.
Lyrics
love like a suicide HB april 2011 v.1. bustin’ out the windows, slammin’ the doors throwin’ out the ornaments that she once wore dreamin’ of a better coat than she put on leave him, she would, on his broken down throne <<lick>> makin up excuses for missin’ her scene late morning lay-outs dissected her dreams the first time around she laughed at his jokes they’re not quite as funny, when they get caught in your throat (…can I love without killing me?...) she continues to run and tries to become a tiny piece of what she thinks he needs she believes all the lies inside her mind and runs to him just like a suicide v.2. she just wanna hold him without all the lines without the trouble gettin’ them behind without the jabs, the words that can cut “don’t try to fix me, let me be messed up” (…can you love without fixing me?...) “love me just as I am cause that’s what I am, and that should be all that you ever need” she continues to hide the real her inside, and bend to him just like a suicide bridge the uncomfortable skin, the burn and the ink… will he like it this time? will he like it on me? is true love a memory?... swelling with tears as her world comes unglued she’s a body of water they all can see through… (chorus) she continues to hide all of the signs, to cover up pieces of damaged pride sweet relief in her eyes the pain of surprise to see that she loves him like suicide (outro) when, she pushes aside the darkest of lies, he runs away ….GUITAR HOOK…. try, expose all the lies, stand up for your life, for every right… ….GUITAR HOOK…. stand, expose all the lies the pretty disguise ….GUITAR HOOK…. don’t continue to hide all of the signs and ask,” is your love like a suicide?”
