I shuffle through old drawings like old friends As bits of a crumbling rose falls to the blue sheets to meet an end The flowers are falling apart and the ribbons coming undone This might have been a year in the making but I didn't expect this from anyone So are the pictures worth the lies and the lies worth the pain? I guess I'll bury them back in the box anyway How could it have been "real" when all you wrote were words And looking back it was all paragraphs that I never really heard Where did the game go when someone rewrote the rules Where no one can win and no one can lose I just don't understand and I guess that's okay Because it's not like anything meant anything anyway I guess I'm just bad at reading between the lines And everything will be as "real" as it is "fine"
