I made the mistake of falling in love And not taking a hint it was over My friends tell me to get over it She told you she didn’t love you There’s nothing left for you to do But what I felt was real and new Piercing through my skepticism
So why do I keep holding on? There’s a ***** little secret I keep The truth is this is where I want to be Wallowing in the warmth of self-pity Telling myself my pain means something That I am a knight on an epic quest For the one that I love in this fairy tale
Life is not the epic romance I make it to be It is cold and lonely and you get left behind I will persevere beyond all reason Because in the dark, when I pray The words keep coming to me the same Stay the course, stay the course Even if the voice is merely my own
