Love as a Baited Hook

作曲：seun visal

作词：seun visal

You stood there like a shoreline

When I was lost at sea

With a lantern made of promises

You shone down onto me

I was starving for a feeling

I was hollow I was thin

So when you threw the line to me I let the anchor in

You knew the exact color of the dreams I used to keep

And you cast them on the water

Where the river's dark and deep

I reached out for the silver

I reached out for the light

I didn't see the jagged edge hidden out of sight

I thought it was a lifeline

A way to pull me through

But I was just a hunger to be satisfied by you

Oh it was love as a baited hook

A cruel and sweet disguise

I swallowed every word you said

I drank in all the

You reel me in so slowly

Just to watch me lose my breath

A beautiful beginning that was bleeding out to death

Now I'm gasping on the pavement

While you're looking for a new

Kind of hard to sink your silver secrets into

The water's still in quiet

Now that you have walked away

I'm left here with the metal scar

That's never gonna fade

You didn't wanna keep me no you only liked the chase

The way the light would catch the tears

Running down my face

You're an expert in the tension

In the giving in the take

How many hearts must go under for your

Ego's sake

And the worst part of the damage

The hardest part to own

Is I'd swim back to the wreckage

Just to not be left alone

I'm still looking for the shimmer

I'm still staring at the tide

Waiting for the predator to take me for a ride

Yeah it was love as a baited hook

A cruel and sweet disguise

I swallowed every word you said

I drank in all the lies

You reeled me in so slowly

Just to watch me lose my breath

A beautiful beginning

That was bleeding out to death

Now I'm gasping on the pavement

While you're looking for a new

Kind of hard to sink your silver secrets into

I'm back in the deep water

But I'm terrified of the light

Every ripple looks like you

Every shadow feels like the bite

Just a hook and a hollow heart

That's all we ever were right from the start
