Running away don't make it easier

Numbing my senses only makes me wonder why

Did I believe it would last forever

Up to the moment where you turned and walked away

Cold grip 'round my throat

Strangled by the hands of love (the hands of love)

Cold grip 'round my throat

Strangled by the hands of love, the hands of love

Sleepless nights keep getting creepier

Turning the tide just seems impossible right now

Saving myself, it's now or never

Today and tomorrow

Trying so hard to find a way (find a way)

Cold grip 'round my throat

Strangled by the hands of love (the hands of love)

Cold grip 'round my throat

Strangled by the hands of love, the hands of love

Trying to stay afloat

Drowning in the sea of love (the sea of love)

Reach for the heavens above

Dying on the cross of love, the cross of love

Got me strangled by the hands of love

Got me strangled by the hands of love

Cold grip 'round my throat

Strangled by the hands of love (the hands of love)

Cold grip 'round my throat

Strangled by the hands of love, the hands of love

Trying to stay afloat

Drowning in the sea of love (the sea of love)

Reach for the heavens above

Dying on the cross of love, the cross of love

I'm strangled, I'm strangled

I'm strangled by the hands of love

I'm strangled, I'm strangled

I'm strangled by the hands of love

I'm drowning, I'm drowning

I'm drowning in the sea of love

I'm dying, I'm dying

I'm dying on the cross of love
