It's a crack in the pavement,
It's a hole inside our heads,
It's the thorn that pierced my pride,
It's the rock that broke your spine;
It's a brick through my window,
It's the pain that you can see,
It's the drug that's killing you,
It's the disease that's killing me;
It's pain and death and joy and sorrow,
It's fear and hope for tomorrow,
It's broken glass and shattered dreams,
It's crying eyes and tortured screams;
It's bloody hands and broken hearts,
But I should have known that from the start.
It's not what I was thinking of
When I said I wanted to be in love.
