I Don't Want to Hurt You - Aviators

The rain feels colder now

The plague has left this town

I’ll heal you

I’ll heal you

The red and poisoned sea

Calls to the hate in me

I’ll break you

I’ll break you

Headstrong for the comedown

Mind heavy with a faint sound

I’ll hear you

In your prayers tonight

Bastion of the white lie

Heads turning with a blind eye

I’ll see you

In the candlelight

I don’t want to hurt you

But I can’t stay away

I don’t have the strength to know myself and keep you safe

So wherever you are now

I hope you will forget

The flaws I had before because I haven’t lost them yet

The devil’s fever dream

Holds the most cursed fiends

I know this

Symptom only mine

In crimson memories

The watcher always sees

The fallout

That I leave behind

Burned palms of the wasteland

Floods rise to the blood on my hands

And I want to forget you

Or take you far away

Safety for when I fail

World’s gone with the last death knell

The distance

I could never stay

I don’t want to hurt you

But I can’t stay away

I don’t have the strength to know myself and keep you safe

So wherever you are now

I hope you will forget

The flaws I had before because I haven’t lost them yet

Somebody’s gonna get hurt

In the wake of my emotions

In this bottomless sky

In all your memories, I

Am a distant ghost behind you

Through the veil of my lies

I could pretend that I’m cut

But the truth is I can’t feel it

Am I something less than real?

There is a part of me left

That remembers how to love you

And the memories heal

My spirit in the darkness

Is in a prison I must know

To run to you, free

But I don’t want to be free

Not really, not really

Not even in my dreams

I don’t want to be free

Not really

I don’t want to be free

Not really

Not even in my dreams

I don’t want to be

I don’t want to break free tonight

I’m safer in the dark

When I can’t see in the light

I don’t want to hurt you

But I can’t stay away

I don’t have the strength to know myself and keep you safe

So wherever you are now

I hope you will forget

The flaws I had before because I haven’t lost them yet
