Everything must have been a dream,
because this became seems too unreal.
It was your love I had a wish to redeem,
and it was my heart you seemed to steal.

Maybe you don't quite grasp,
just how hard for you I fell.
Well you're free from me at last,
and I'm trapped within a cell.

All the memories,
all the joy.
Over time your love began to freeze,
and it turns out I was just some other boy.

I hate how I love you,
I wish it would pass.
You think I'd get a clue,
now my heart is more fragile than glass.

I desperately need your touch,
even though it would hurt.
I still love you oh so much,
yet to you I must be lower than dirt.

Sometimes dreams will be real,
others just fail.
And while you heal,
I'll be alone in my hell.

I was brought up taught,
that life always changes.
But who would have thought,
of just how much it rearranges.

A broken heart,
and a shattered dream.

A misled start,
that went unseen.

You stole my breath,
something never to happen before.

You might as well have caused my death,
by tossing me aside and stepping out the door.

What changed inside?
What fueled your lust?
All the tears I cried,
my hopes became simple dust.

I'm left alone,
unsure of what to do.
I sit here at home,
only able to think of you.

Maybe one day you'll care,
a wish I'm not sure I can chase.
A heart isn't something you share,
and even though you left the pain always stays.

a thousand tears,
shed time and time again.
a thousand years,
leaves you to wonder when.

why must loves grip cause so much yet mask so little pain.
love is my wound,
she was the break in my torrential rain.
sometimes i wonder,
did she love me?
my love strong as thunder,
yet did she see?

a thousand tears...
shed time and time again....
a thousand years...
leaves you to wonder when...

The pain you caused,
won't fade away.
I guess we all have flaws,
but what's left to say?

He was probably better,
in every typical way.
I'd write this as a letter,
but that would be another day.

Things went all wrong,
and now nothing seems right.
This isn't meant to be a song,
that was made for you overnight.

My emotions haven't left,
my feelings for you linger here.
To me you were my ****,
and I'm not sure how to quit you my dear.

I write to escape you,
and the love I wrongly possess.
If only life were so true,
and I could forget your loving caress.

I believed you to be different,
but now your true colors shine.
My time so unjustly spent,
still the sight of you sends a jolt up my spine.

How do I do this?
How do I move away?
Why do I long for your kiss?
What's left to say..?
