Your Fantasy vs. Reality

You'd tell yourself anything to make yourself feel better, wouldn't you?

Everyone says that living in a fantasy world isn't healthy

But living in reality isn't safe

So you chose fantasy

You chose to leave the people that cared about you

You chose to stay with those you wished cared about you

You chose the blue trees, pink rivers, and green skies

It's the paradise that's all about you

You din't get enough attention from the person you wanted it from

So you turned your back on everyone, including me

Now you say that I left you because I chose to live in reality

I chose to stay with all of the other people and their problems

I chose to fight and not run away

I chose to take a risk and my outcome didn't include you

When actually, you left no space for me in your fantasy

You chose to abandon me

So go ahead and lie to yourself

Tell yourself that I abandoned you

and that i didn't want to be with you

and that I don't care about you

You know you're wrong and

You'd tell yourself anything to make yourself feel better, wouldn't you?
