From the beginning, you were never the same
My world was falling apart, and along you came
I'd tried to reach the stars, only to grasp thin air
Refusing to accept what was simply not there.
Slowly, you put the ground back under my feet.
After falling for so long--the return to earth was sweet.

You're far from the dreams I'd chased for so long
Thought I'd grown up, stopped living for what's gone.
Thought, for once, I could love safely
Embracing rather than running from reality.
This time, I'd set out to not lose my head.
But turns out, I'm losing all of myself instead.

No sweet words or touches, no pretty little lies
Can't read anything behind those cool, dark eyes
As much as I tell myself what we have could be real
Sometimes I wonder if you even know how to feel.
While you live in my head, unlock all my doors
I doubt I even have a place in yours.

I try to put up some walls, guard my heart
Steel myself for the day this all falls apart.
Turn my back from you with a few mind games.
But when I lose, I'll have only myself to blame.
For believing you were what I deserved to find.
For letting foolish dreams again turn me blind.
