Verse 1:
C
Love was kind, for a time
G C
Now just aches, and it makes me blind

This mirrors holds my eyes too bright
G C
That I can't see the others in my life

We too young and heads too strong
G C
To bear the weight of these lover's eyes
C
Cuz I feel numb beneath your tongue
G C
Beneath the curse of these lover's eyes.

F C G C
But do not ask the price I pay, I must live with my quiet rage
F C G C
Tame the ghosts in my head that run wild and wish me dead

Should you shake my ash to the wind

Lord forget all of my sins

Oh let me die where I lie beneath the curse of my lover's eyes
