Guarding yourself from the love of another  
  
 left you with nothing tonight  
  
 why does it sound like the devil is laughing  
  
 leaving me haunted tonight  
  
 you did decide  
  
  
  
 now i want you, when you're gone, and now it's like  
  
 you're holding something just in front of me  
  
 well then, i can't allow this to become another  
  
 one of those times that i'm left in the cold, dead  
  
 there's no compromise  
  
 just another tie  
  
 i know i need to sever  
  
  
  
 guarding yourself from the love of another  
  
 left you with nothing tonight  
  
 why does it sound like the devil is laughing  
  
 leaving me haunted tonight  
  
 you did decide  
  
  
  
 ever haunted, by the trappings of this life  
  
 sweet redemption, just in front of me  
  
 well now, it seems once again that i've lost another  
  
 one of the one's that have broke through the wall  
  
 damned  
  
 fate won't compromise  
  
 i have sold my soul,  
  
 and now the devil's laughing  
  
 you did decide  
  
  
  
 you were bold and strong, and ready to begin your life  
  
 all for nothing, you were sacrificed  
  
 you began alone, and so it will be when you die  
  
 all for nothing, will you be remembered?  
  
 you did decide  
  
  
  
 guarding yourself from the love of another  
  
 left you with nothing tonight  
  
 so now you know why the devil is laughing  
  
 he left you with nothing tonight  
  
 you did decide
