Lyrics

Punish You

You shine a light
And it goes dark
You're in my head
Without my heart

It means too much
And I cannot speak
Well, I'd run to you
But I am weak

Like a lion, your silence roars
I wish you'd hold me like a child once more

When I asked you to disappear
It wasn't for, it wasn't for
Any pride that I hold near
When I asked you to disappear
It wasn't to, it wasn't to
Punish you, my dear
Punish you, my dear

Well, I think you're wrong
And you don't know me
We were so young
And still you will be

And I've seen your girl
White as a dream
Well, I hope you know
That that used to be me

Like a lion, your silence roars
I wish you'd hold me like a child once more

When I asked you to disappear
It wasn't for, it wasn't for
Any pride that I hold near
When I asked you to disappear
It wasn't to, it wasn't to
Punish you, my dear

When I asked you to disappear
It wasn't for, it wasn't for
Any pride that I hold near
When I asked you to disappear
It wasn't to, it wasn't to
Punish you, my dear
Punish you, my dear
