Little Strawberry
Fear is only in our minds
taking over all the time
Yeah, I'll say…
You know, I never thought I'd say this, but I'll really miss her if she dies…
I live with that fear everyday…
You poor, sweet innocent thing
dry your eyes and testify.
you know you live to break me—don't deny
sweet sacrifice
Yeah… she hates me, I know it.
She would love to see me dead, she and I both know it.
One day I'm gonna forget your name
and one sweet day,
you're gonna drown in my lost pain
Yeah, that'll be the day…
it's the day I live for, the day when I forget her, and she loves me…
Twisted, I know, but I've loved her for so long, for so little…
Fear is only in our minds
taking over all the time
fear is only in our minds
but it's taking over all the time
The fear she'll die without loving me,
the fear she'll die because she loves me,
the fear she'll never love me,
the fear I'll die before she loves me…
fears are useless, but they're all I have…
You poor, sweet innocent thing,
dry your eyes and testify.
and oh, you love to hate me, don't ya honey!
I'm your sacrifice.
(I dream in darkness
I sleep to die
erase the silence
erase my life
our burning ashes
blacken the day
a world of nothingness
blow me away)
I live just to watch her, even though she doesn't love me…
she probably doesn't even remember me…
heh… probably not… and even if she does, she does so with contempt…
sometimes, I go to sleep and hope to just not wake up…
to die in my sleep would be the best or worst thing that could happen to me…
Do you wonder why you hate?
are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?
Probably… I'm the weakest person I know… too weak to hold on to her,
too weak to let her go… My little strawberry, how are you faring in the big, wide world?
Are you happy with your blue knight? Or have you found love somewhere else?
You poor sweet innocent thing
dry your eyes and testify
you know you live to break me—don't deny
sweet sacrifice
The weakest person I know… can't even let go of the past…
can't forgive, can't forget…
and, most off all… can't regret…
Fear is only in our minds
taking over all the time
fear is only in our minds
but it's taking over all the time
So, here I lay, drowning in my fears, in my sorrows,
dreaming of my little strawberry,
by turns cursing her and wishing her good luck in her new life…
And hoping, miserably hoping, that the next life… be a little kinder… to both of us…
Goodbye, my little strawberry… goodbye…
A/n: Did you like the latest installment of TMM angsty Evanescence songfics? Oh, and in case you didn't recognize the song, it's 'Sweet Sacrifice' from 'The Open Door'. Next up: I am planning on doing one for Call Me When You're Sober, but that might not work out... Otherwise, keep watching for the next installment! (honestly I didn't even plan to do more than one, but it was such a big hit, that I did 'Say Goodbye'. That one didn't go over quite as well, but the people who did review all liked it... And so I wrote/typed this (same step, as I wrote it on the computer) and posted it all in the same day... Well, hopefully...).
