It's a secret.

is thIs what hell looks like?

is this what heaven feels like?

and the laSt time i kissed you, it was sad.

and the last i Touched you, it was out of spite.

he's asking questIons about me, things i don't even know.

and your happiness Lovingly attributes to my lame misery.

but i don't think i'm realLy not so heartbroken as i may have first thought.

i'm a thief of religion,

he doesn't beLieve in me after all.

a handsome, lonesOme crusader of the high seas.

and i trust you'll be leaVing rather soon, like you always do.

and i trust you'll be leaving mE rather soon, just like you used to do.

my thoughts aren't voiced

my prayers left unanswered.

he says he can love me.

but love who exactly?

can he love me more than i loved YOU?
