I treated your words like something holy
You saw weak in my survival
Tell me how fast I fell when you pushed me through it all.
Dancing through our greatest hits
You promised me the shoe would fit
And now I can't get out of bed
And all you promised is death
It's a weight I carry
I need a grave to bury parts of me that still scare me
Oh, what a tragic find my Achilles heel
You can't force me how to feel
But God, you tried to repaint scenes
Took all your kindness and made it mean
our memories are not as they seem, but that's my problem
I always dream
Please don't wake me up, I fear I'll cry over the loss of my life.
Who's going to stop me from waltzing into someone else's cage?
And claiming it as my own?
If someone weaker than you offers their life are you a saint or the reason for their headstone?
An honest girl so suddenly told many lies and now it hurts to breathe
My guilty eyes made you believe so I won't look away when you bare your teeth
Turn the tables or romance and imaginary
Filed your pockets with love bombs, how could that be scary?
See the lock on my heart didn't say we'd marry, it was temporary
Not made of gold or in much time like autumn leaves gone past their prime
You shouldn't ask me, I'll deny, you were my once in lifetime
