Shut You Down

Snap went the ropes
And the wall came down
It was quite a show
I used to know
Your best friend well
You and despair were inseparable

I was there when your lips first said it
Shot me down I cannot forget it
You reduced me to nothing then
You produced a destructive trend
That was there and that was then
I don't know how but I know just when
I began to shut you down
I began to shut you down

Crash went my heart
And the wound was born
Never there before
I used to care
Where your love for me was
After that I'd had quite enough

I turned away from
Our façade of a life
And started the hell fires
No chance to remain in
What was once my life
This has changed me
