Don't you say a word
Don't make a sound
These feelings can't be heard
Over our hearts so loud
Don't tell me of blurring lines
Of tragedy and company intertwined
Don't tell me you're afraid this time
When there's nothing to fear if you're mine

There's no apologies to be made for you and I
Nothing to cause your heavy sighs
There is only truth in your lies
You're afraid to feel alive
Like Alice in a wonderlandΒ 
Let me take your hand
And tell you how far the rabbit hole goes
Because this reality is all for show
There's a place waiting for you and I
Beneath the stars but in the sky
When or how I cannot tell
You will see you created your hell
Don't pay attention to these frail words
They're nothing compared to what has occurred
Inside our hearts we'll never be the same
If only you could let it change
