Verse 1
=======
There's a hot hard hurt
Burning under her skin 
And it pricks her like thorns 
And it's needles and pins 
And it twists in her body
And I know what it is 
And I'm paying in pain 
But it's the cost of the high 
'Till the weight of the secret 
And the weight of the lie 
Makes my heart want to burst 
Feel the ache as time goes by 
Getting better and worse 
Getting better and worse 
And there's a screw that I tighten 
As I dream of the kiss 
And it twists and it cuts me 
And you know what it is?

Bridge 1
======== 
It's a fragment of love 
From a splintering heart
And it tears her apart
But not as much as this

For the moments alone

Leave you glass-hard and numb

*h comes around this point

And there's a burning and freezing 
And a cross for a kiss 
So she learns to stop dreaming 
And you know how it is 

With these fragments of love 
And this splintering heart 
With the fragments 
And this splintering heart
