My Curse

My Curse (sometimes incorrectly referred to as "This Is My Curse") is a song by American metalcore band Killswitch Engage, the song is released as the first single from their fourth album As Daylight Dies. It reached #21 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, surpassing the band's last breakthrough single The End Of Heartache. The music video was directed by Lex Halaby, who has also directed videos for Hoobastank and Mudvayne. My Curse, along with the rest of the album, has been generally praised by critics but has received substantial criticism for breaking away from the style established in preceding albums, toning down their previously "harder" sound.

[Verse 1] I watched you walk away Hopeless, with nothing to say I strain my eyes Hoping to see you again [Chorus] This is my curse (The longing) This is my curse (Time) This is my curse (The yearning) This is my curse There is love burning to find you Will you wait for me? Will you be there? [Pre-Chorus] Your silence haunts me But still I hunger for you [Chorus] This is my curse (The wanting) This is my curse (Time) This is my curse (The healing) This is my curse There is love burning to find you Will you wait for me? [Bridge] And still I want And still I ache But still I wait [Verse 2] To see you again Dying, inside, these walls Dying, inside, these walls And I see your face in these tears In these tears And I see your face [Outro] There is love There is love There is love There is love There is love There is love There is love There is love
