lyrics

An Unrequited Love

Should I guard myself in sleep? Should I through my own life creep?
Should I hide my feelings deep? For an unrequited love?

Should I hide my love away? Should I fake all of my days?
Should I keep my heart at bay? For an unrequited love?

We walk through the streets my landlord & me
We talk of our lives & how they might be
Will we ever find love or will heartbreak last?
All that we know is we can’t live in the past.

Should I pretend that I am not? Should I give up the dreams I’ve got?
Should I live life as if been shot? For an unrequited love?

Must I lose myself to fear? Must I drown in my own tears?
Must I fake a lecher’s leer? For an unrequited love?

We walk though the streets my landlord & I
He says times are bad but we must not cry
One of these nights we’ll pull down the sky
For the day you lose hope is the day that you die.

Must I live life drown in wine? Must my heart be froze in time?
Must I build a pointless shrine? For an unrequited love?

Must I lie through sleepless nights? Must my mind be lost in spite?
Must I face darkness with no light? For an unrequited love?

We walk though the streets my landlord & me
We laugh at the world, we yell at the trees
We only know love will one day set us free
But until then: what men shall we be?

Must my hours be touched by pain? Must I dream of her in vain?
Must my soul be always stained? For an unrequited love?

Must I live like I am dead? Must I face the world in dread?
Must every night be a lonely bed? For an unrequited love?
For an unrequited love? For an unrequited love?
