Hear your footsteps fade away,
I told you it wouldn't stay the same,
Said we wouldn't last forever,
I couldn't take another of your endeavours,
So I'll etch these words upon my skin,
"It was with you I could never win."
Broken promises, words all so untrue,
Reminding me each day of you,
My strength is nothing more than a mask,
Displayed to hide the hurt and the past,
You will never get to see these tears I cry,
Or hear the way my voice breaks when I say I want to die,
I love you, how can I make that any more clear?
You kissed it all away, vanquished my every fear,
So now I'll listen as your footsteps fade away,
Remember, I told you we wouldn't stay the same.
