Letra 'Jezebel'

To think of my task is chilling.
To know I was carefully building the mask I was wearing for two years, swearing I d tear it off.
I ve sat in the dark explaining to myself that I m straining too hard for feelings I ought to find easily.
Called myself jezebel.
I don t believe.

Before I say that the vows we made weigh like a stone in my heart.
Family is family, don t let this tear us apart.

You lie there, an innocent baby.
I feel like the thief who is raiding your home, entering and breaking and taking in every room.
I know your feelings are tender and that inside you the embers still glow.
But I m a shadow, I m only a bed of blackened coal.
Call myself jezebel for wanting to leave.

I m not saying I m replacing love for some other word to describe the sacred tie that bound me to you.
I m just saying we ve mistaken one for thousands of words.
And for that mistake, I ve caused you such pain that I damn that word.
I ve no more ways to hide that I m a desolate and empty, hollow place inside.

I m not saying I m replacing love for some other word to describe the sacred tie that bound me to you.
I m not saying love s a plaything.
No, it s a powerful word, inspired by strong desire to bind myself to you.
How I wish that we never had tried to be man and his wife, to weave our lives into a blindfold over both our eyes.
