Sad Love Lyrics - Bring On The Snakes - Crooked Fingers

When you cut the cord to close the curtain on the sun 

And evening came to cover everything you left undone 

I took a walk out to greet an old familiar ghost 

To take a seat among the freaks and watch the red lights glow 

On the day you came I swear I felt so drunk 

Stumbling I tried to bring you down to where I'd sunk 

But throwing a spark you lit up the dark to heat the hateful glow 

And burned a bright resentful ring around our sad, sad love 

Sad love is calling you 

What's meant to be has fallen through 

Is running through your veins 

An evil kind of bloodless pain 

Is creeping through the cracks that swell 

To swallow you up into Hell 

To shatter all that you believed 

And let your lonesome heart be free 

So shut your angry eyes cause there ain't nothing here to see 

It's sad enough they called the bluff on all these lying dreams 

That creep through the night where even the slightest defect is exposed 

To leave us only half asleep so we can watch the curtain close
