That moment you realize that you've become second best

When you can't do anything to work yourself back up

The moment you find out you're as temporary as you feel

You ask yourself

Is it worth the pain to stay just to enjoy the pleasure

Or am I strong enough to leave and become free once more

Love has its bounds and I was a fool to forget

I let your words cloud brain and mend my heart

But my mind remained the same

After every dream and every wishful thought

My mind laughed sarcastically while my heart raced uncontrollably

My mind left a net for my heart to fall into

When it beats to hard for one person

You sold me a dream, it was one I fell for

And now you've realized that you've made a mistake and call for it back

Will I be smart to hand it over

Or will I grip on until it's worth nothing?
