i remind myself that you're not mine
that you must return to the sky
rainbows dont exist for long
but i thought you were an exception
well i was wrong.

even after every sweet word
dripping like honey
and tasting like sweets
i take it all in, hoping its real.

i love you,
do you throw that around?
because its a heart wrenching feeling
when you throw it to the ground

i miss you,
are you telling the truth?
or do you just miss someone's attention on you?

i like you (too)
well, what a lie
so tell me
do you enjoy making me cry?

your colours are what i long
your affection is what i need
but god knows how much i can take
all those words you feed

action speaks louder than words
or so you say
what action have you done
to prove to me so i can stay sane

you're such a big mess
its my fault for getting involved
for i am a mess myself
and now we're all gone

im sorry if i ignore you
it's to keep me sane
you love her, not me
and that makes me insane.

so if i call you 'friend'
i actually wanna say 'love'
if i say 'i hate you'
then its the truth and that hurts.

i called you a star
into you i put so much trust
you made light pour in my life
but now you're as good as dust

you're shooting through the sky
and you found another star
i watch as you go farther away
and leave a huge scar

the saddest thing is
i can't leave you
i almost did and it killed you.

it killed me too
because where would i be
without your ecstasy filled voice
and how you make me feel free

but now its clear,
you're such a liar
heart ache is what i fear
you make me fill with fire

so goodbye mr almost
almost a lover
almost a mate
leave me with lies
because all you are is a liar.
