Lyrics

Crucifix above your bed You said love was born to end But I still kissed you like a prayer Knowing no one would be there You wore guilt like sainted gold But I touched you like_I_didn't_know That broken hearts_don't get to_rise Only bleed beneath the light You laid in my arms like a promise burned Ashes on lips that will never return I was your shrine, I was your sin Held you close, let you cave me in I was your Piet� Carved in stone but soft enough To catch you when the world gave up Holy love that hurt too much I held your fall, I took your pain Like Mary in the pouring rain You never stayed, but I still stay Frozen in your Piet� You called me your angel once While you hid your sharpened tongue But even angels learn to lie To feel a love that tastes divine You were nails and I was skin A masterpiece of quiet sin The more I gave, the more you bled Now I sleep beside regret You broke like glass in my embrace Left your ghost in sacred space You were the wound, I was the grace And now I haunt the empty place I was your Piet� Carved in stone but soft enough To catch you when the world gave up Holy love that hurt too much I held your fall, I took your pain Like Mary in the pouring rain You never stayed, but I still stay Frozen in your Piet� They paint me strong, they paint me still But love like ours was born to kill And if I break, I break alone No resurrection in this stone I was your Piet� Not a saint, just made of scars You died in me, not in my arms But I still cradle all your parts I bore your weight, I wore your shame A living statue, bound by name You walked away, but I remain Forever your Piet�
