Amelle Rose - Love Is Dead Lyrics

They call me a survivor
But I don't know about that
I've lost the motions of feeling alive
He called it a mistake and apologized
But I still suffocate and silently howl at night
Thinking of the face he had, his hands on my neck
Whilst I shut my mouth
The lady on the phone called it self preservation
But I call it silent approval of destruction
Slow destruction, 4 years on and I still ache
While he parties out in the bar we met every weekend
I heard you were good at getting it
My friend Mathilde told me all about it
But I don't wanna hear about it
And I swore to myself
No man would hurt me again
Love is dead
But I ain't
Yet all these nights I wish I was
When I get flashbacks of your claws
The 3am texts I deleted for my own sake
How I fell for a boy who held your name
He never knew
Couldn't talk so I just worked it through
When my body pressed against his started shaking that November night
I said that I was sorry, it just happens sometimes
And I swore to myself
No man would hurt me again
Love is dead
And I swore to myself
I would ditch your memory chains
Love is dead
But I ain't
Shattered faith in your hands, in your hands
Lost the thread of my own lustfulness
You can't break me
Can't break me no more
And I swore to myself
No man would hurt me again
Love is dead
And I swore to myself
I would ditch your memory chains
Love is dead
But I ain't
