As if it was a lie, I persevered
I couldn't tell what was more severe
The pain of knowing you'll never be here
Or the horror of realising your spirit has reappeared?
I pretended I knew how I truly felt about it all
I acted as if I was completely fine after the fall
I told them I was over the whole fiasco, my thoughts came to a crawl
I knew deep down that I was doomed, a history befalls
Your soul came back like a ghost trying to haunt me
Filing bankruptcy, for the reality of it all daunts me
From the feeling of needing one who will flaunt me
I've indeed let go of the part that taught me
I couldn't possibly let myself rekindle the fire
For I vowed to keep this ephemeral, not let its flames rage higher
You left me in a state of anguished obsession, for catharsis is all I desire
I beg you, leave me in solitude, you're no good to the things I require
As I admire this from afar, I uncover the sad truth
You captured me in a reverie, turning out to be the brute
Your eyes promised resonance, yet to me you remained aloof
You make me stop and wonder whether I should really shoot
A liar, you are, and it's all I'll ever perceive of your mannerism
Oh, you could never face the loyal leads, none of my aphorisms
How could I be such a fool to let my heart sink into terrorism?
For all my being has ever meant was pure altruism
The dismay, the grief, the tristesse caused by nothing but a grifter
As smart as your tactics may be, I know I can be much swifter
I'll give you something to cry about, something that won't be solaced by liquor
Eat your heart out, baby, you started this spiteful game of twister.
