dark hand over my heart

becky loved me and i let her

wish i could have loved her better

on the day we pulled apart

she primed a time-bomb in my heart

now there's a shadow hiding

now there's a horseman riding

lover of all broken things

standing waiting in the wings

sometimes i wonder why i love and let it die

can't give

can't live just to hold back

hold back

there's a dark hand

there's a dark hand

there's a dark hand over my heart

there's a dark hand

there's a dark hand

there's a dark hand over my heart

you call me fraud and faker

you call me user

taker

you say i throw you scraps

prove my strength by holding back

but i shine my honour brightly

swear my allegiance nightly

but through my hands it slips

the same old demons paint their lips

sometimes i wonder why i love and let it die

i can't give

i can't live just to hold back

hold back

there's a dark hand

there's a dark hand

there's a dark hand over my heart

there's a dark hand

there's a dark hand

there's a dark hand over my heart

there's a dark hand

there's a dark hand

there's a dark hand over my heart

oh there's a dark hand

there's a dark hand

there's a dark hand over my heart
