Found some lyrics I'd written years ago and a riff I'd come up with even earlier (I'm talking like 2005 or thereabouts) and they suddenly seemed to fit together
Why do I feel so lonely tonight?
When you're here by my side.
Though you hold me to safety,
Why this fear inside?
You say that you love me,
But lovers we can't be...
Do we have something special?
Or is it just a maybe?
Am I just a friend,
Though I feel like so much more,
Am I in your heart
Or am I just your whore?
Choke on my own words,
Each time I slight the threats,
Hold them back at gunpoint,
And play Russian roulette.
