You told me you would like to erase the past
But who would you be
If the pain didn't crawl inside your skin?
If the ugliness I put on you
Didn't turn out to be your most beautiful sin?

The worst sides are the ones that prevailed,
I couldn't see how that would mean that my creation has failed
I didn't expect for it to turn on me
Once you were finally free
To destroy me down and eat up my bones
To burn me down and throw me on the stones

But even the pain was sweet when I saw how strong you became
When I turned into the victim of a once prey
I knew that was it takes
to finally rest again

If could go back in time
I would do it all
the same
way
again
