Tender Lovers

[xx_bangbang]

I've been thinking about this stupid thing called love
And how it's been left so hollow
They took the guts and left it's open cage
And left the warm blood oh so shallow

You can wear it like a mask
To cover your every tear and frown
You will not smile
Will not laugh at anything
And it will hold you like a babe
Rock you side to side till you start to lull
A lullaby
A lie to keep you safe

And if you think I'm wrong its just a lie
A chemical inbalance in the night
We'll wear heart shapped glasses if its too bright
We'll wear them if it's day or night
Sing anthems to the flag of decency
Sing louder while we break our curfew
And choose a lover to plug your weeping wound
Who pretends to care just like no other

You can wear it like a mask
To cover your every tears and frown
You will not smile
Will not laugh at anything
And it will hold you like a babe
Rock you side to side till you start to lull
A lullaby
A lie to keep you safe

With no breath your dieing
With no love your just smiling

I feel your breathing
And I can tell you're seething
And that it's heard to hear
When a betrothed is near
Your just haunting in your hallways
Your just hanging out with nobodys
We all grow old
And we're scared to be alone

You can wear it like a mask
To cover your every tears and frown
You will not smile
You will not laugh at anything
And it will hold you like a babe
Rock you side to side till you start to lull
A lullaby
A lie to keep you safe

Not quite sure about this one. It seems pretty mellow to me.
One thing you might look at is the use of the word "left" in 3 lines in the first verse. That was a bit much.

I can just picture you in some heart shaped glasses. lol
