Cracked and Crazed

I try to be graceful, you only want more
I try to be peaceful, you only want war
I try to be calm but you stir up such hate
I offer my palm but you’ve closed all the gates

I try to stand up, you’re pushing me down
I fill up the cup you throw to the ground
I’m trying to live, to act for your sake
I’m trying to give but you only take

Oh, take my days, my months, my years
Take my blood, my sweat, my tears
But not my heart

I’ve seen leaves in a gust
And torches combust
Jackals and wolves in a brawl

Waves breaking fierce
And daggers that pierce
I’ve stood in the face of them all

I’ve seen gears that could crush
And geysers that gush
Light that could blind with a glance

Soldiers that march
And deserts that parch
With them all I have taken my chance

But you, you’re the only one who beat me down
Yes you, you’ve the only one who stole my crown
So you, you’re the only one I sought to keep
And you, you’re the only one who made me weep

Oh, you have left me stunned and dazed
You have left me cracked and crazed
And you did it with love (that’s right)
Oh you did it with love (one more time)
Yes you did it with love
