One Last Plea

[Intro] [Verse 1] Morning light finds bruises on my skin Another night where love couldn't win Your words like knives, your hands like stone This empty house feels less like home I remember the love we had, your smile once shone Now all I see is anger, I'm all alone [Chorus] Please stop the hurting, let the storm subside Remember when I walked your hopeful bride? I'm begging for the man I used to know Before the darkness made your heart grow cold Just hold me gentle, whisper love again No more hate before the bitter end [Verse 2] I find the photo from our summer day Your arm around me, laughing in the spray Was that a dream? Or just a faded lie? Beneath this fear, I still don't understand why I keep believing love might find its way Through all the shadows of this endless grey [Chorus] Please stop the hurting, let the storm subside Remember when I walked your hopeful bride? I'm begging for the man I used to know Before the darkness made your heart grow cold Just hold me gentle, whisper love again No more hate before the bitter end [Bridge] Is it the drugs talking? Is it me you hate? This fragile hope, it seals a broken fate Each "sorry" whispered, every tear I cry Just feeds the cycle, asking "Why?" Death is calling, freedom's bitter taste But still I linger in this loveless space [Chorus] Please stop the hurting, let the storm subside Remember when I walked your hopeful bride? I'm begging for the man I used to know Before the darkness made your heart grow cold Just hold me gentle, whisper love again No more hate... please... just let it end... [Outro]
