It's funny how I just trusted you
So long and now it's not something I can redo
Your eyes shone and you held out a hand
Your smile drove me to where it feels that I couldn't stand
Everything seemed brighter and louder when you were around
Not knowing I slowly found myself bound
I couldn't stand alone
And soon, I ,was gone
It changed, it always changes
How easily the rosy color fades
The lingering touches replaced
The bottle of wine now lay laced
The bruises stayed without an apology they grew
If only they knew
The torment of being bound by you
How you expressed love the way you do
Your flawless face
A sight I could no longer embrace
A hate grew but I covered it with memory
And even with my reverie
Even that couldn't cover what I feel
That I was nothing more than a meal
One you had lost the appetite for
You couldn't stand the sight anymore
You were my first taste at love
You made believe it was this rough
But still I believe, there's something more
I feel it at my core
That somewhere there's someone as sick as I
Someone not bound by a lie
That's not held up by my downfall
Who'd stand beside me after it all
Even if it's only a dream
You should know what it means
I will not be bound by your pain any longer
Because my naive dream made me stronger
I don't need to be told I need to be more
Because I don't need you anymore
He doesn't know it, but my dream
Has helped me already it seemed
And that, makes it real
Makes me want to feel
After the numb you gave to me
Wanting to feel is a big thing you see
Hope. That's what I craved
And that's how I was saved
