Lyrics for My Own Hands

It's not easy to get at your mind You dig a hole in the bed and that's where you stay I'm alone and I'm burning slowly I don't regret a thing I loved something once, but it turned into something I don't recognize I loved something once, but it burned while I held it in my hand No matter how hard I try, you'll pull me back down again You'll betray me without any sense or shame You'll betray me and I'll burn for your memory again I'll burn for your memory; I'll burn for your shame; then I'll take myself In my own hands Then I'll break myself down with my own hands I don't regret a thing
