Shorthanded (Illnath)

In order to be loved respect is needed To give yourself completely To another person knowing they can pick you apart Knowing that by a flick of their wrist they can break your heart Once broken it can never again be completed and What can take you years to build can be torn apart in a second of guilt It takes a lifetime to create, but love can be replaced with purebred hate In the blink of an eye you'll be branded and both will end up shorthanded Betray everything you've ever known You'll betray, regret but not before it is too late Betray everything you've ever known You'll betray, regret but not before it is too late A passion so strong it can turn doubt into stone You find once in a lifetime if you overcome The difficulties to give everything you have in order to live With a person who has the power to rule Your insides in whichever way he chooses You'll be here but will you stay here, you can never convince my heart Sometimes you lose and sometimes you win can you feel the difference? You'll betray everything you've ever known You'll betray, regret but not before it is too late Betray everything you've ever known You'll betray, regret but not before it is too late Now you have to choose, take the risk or you loose The latter will leave you shorthanded And to take the risk can crush your bones Decisions cracking in the back of your mind, making you wanting to die You'll be here but will you stay here, you can never convince my heart Corrupting the mind of another with false promises Not realizing you smother everything it was meant to be When your greatest fear is to end up shorthanded Be careful where your seed is planted You'll betray!
