Harden your heart like you sharpened your gaze
What was once full with adoration
Is now nothing but fake saturation
What happened beautiful soul?
What did they do to make you put them on a pedestal?
You smile your crumbling smile and damn it
For a second I forget
For one second, I forget that you left me.
No, not left me-- you broke me.
But then I realize it's not a smile meant for me,
But for your new diamond encrusted crowd
They don't see through it like I do
They'll never love you like I do,
did
We once squeezed our eyes shut on melting birthday candle waxes
That stopped once you prettily fluttered your eyes closed on sparkling stars with the rest of them
Now that you're one of them
Don't pretend you're any different
Once you're in you can never go back
So harden your heart and prepare to die
as a shell of someone who used to never want to say goodbye.
Good bye, poor crumbling heart, you're not the only one who's changed
