Alter Bridge - Lover lyrics
[Alter Bridge - Lover lyrics]
If you deny the wounds of your lover
You will discover
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
The truth exposed and love is devoured
And the ivory tower is coming down
A vow betrayed and honor is broken
The wounds are open and bleeding out
But it’s all I can do to carry on
It brings all I fear to life
If you deny the wounds of your lover
You will discover
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
Did you have to throw it all away?
Did you have to shove it in my face?
Did you have to tear my world apart?
Did you have to take so selfishly?
No matter how you hurt the ones you need?
Did you have to fall so very far?
The trigger’s warm, the chamber is loaded
Lost in the moment what went wrong?
There’s nothing left this house
Has been broken but still I’m holding
I’m holding on
If you deny the wounds of your lover
You will discover
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
(Now that you've gone so far
Can you live with what you've
Done and who you are?)
You can see it in your love
The wounds are open and I’m bleeding out
It’s so real
(Now that you've gone so far
Can you live with what you've
Done and who you are?)
If you deny the wounds of your lover
You will discover
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
(Now that you've gone so far
Can you live with what you've
Done and who you are?)
You will discover
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
The truth exposed and love is devoured
And the ivory tower is coming down
A vow betrayed and honor is broken
The wounds are open and bleeding out
But it’s all I can do to carry on
It brings all I fear to life
If you deny the wounds of your lover
You will discover
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
Did you have to throw it all away?
Did you have to shove it in my face?
Did you have to tear my world apart?
Did you have to take so selfishly?
No matter how you hurt the ones you need?
Did you have to fall so very far?
The trigger’s warm, the chamber is loaded
Lost in the moment what went wrong?
There’s nothing left this house
Has been broken but still I’m holding
I’m holding on
If you deny the wounds of your lover
You will discover
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
(Now that you've gone so far
Can you live with what you've
Done and who you are?)
You can see it in your love
The wounds are open and I’m bleeding out
It’s so real
(Now that you've gone so far
Can you live with what you've
Done and who you are?)
If you deny the wounds of your lover
You will discover
That what you had is shattered and wasted
Did you have to take it so far?
(Now that you've gone so far
Can you live with what you've
Done and who you are?)
