Stupid things we do…when it comes to matters of the heart,
We feel so invincible, until our illusion falls apart,
And all you’re left with is the deafening silence and memories in the dark.
Hope is already miles away…already gone too far.

You never expected it to be perfect…you just thought that he’d be there,
Not always to fight your demons, but to hold you in his arms; to let you know he cares.
But the calls remain unanswered…and a month turns into a year…
Yet you sit by waiting patiently; you rather denounce your fears.

You wouldn't tell a soul…the experiences through which you've been,
You wouldn't ask for help although your walls are caving in.
You dry your tears, fake a smile and hide the pain within,
Although things are broken, you've made a promise; you will not commit the sin.

You become a shell of yourself…and you lay there wasting away
Deluding yourself with the ******, that there will come a day,
When he finds himself, and realizes the error in his ways,
Surely he’ll come back…surely he’ll promise to stay.

Eventually, reality sets in, and you’re begging to be free,
But the lies are too intricately woven, too deep to let you leave.
All you ever had with him and all you thought you’d be,
Was never there to begin with, but so in love you were to actually see…

Through the facade, through the lies and the fake imagery,
All the things you've done for him contributes to your misery.
Every kiss and caress now a distant memory…
The truth still cast in shadows like an unsolved mystery.

Stupid things we do…when it comes to matters of the heart,
We feel so invincible, until our illusion falls apart,
And all you’re left with is the deafening silence and memories in the dark.
Hope is already miles away… it has already gone too far.
