Your face is not the loveliest I’ve seen
Sometimes you’re condescending and you’re mean
But I was drawn to beauty in your soul
You seemed to be the one who’d make me whole

I could not my feelings cloak
Logic, reason up in smoke

My love was just a dimly glowing light
I thought you needed more and I was right
I was a fool, you never felt the same
My heart is empty and I bear the blame

Unmatched love, the cruelest joke
Dreams, desires up in smoke

You’re worldly and experienced, I’m pure
You’re charming, charismatic, I’m demure
You’re wrong for me, and I am wrong for you
There’s nothing more to say or left to do

Once again, my spirit broke
Confidence is up in smoke

The time has come for me to let you go
From pedestal, join us now here below
My life moves forward though this love is gone
New page, new start, it’s time for moving on

Resolve is like the mighty oak
My life will not go up in smoke.

There was a time when you consumed my mind
I spiraled down; I knew that I was blind
A silly, oft repeated tragedy
I thought of you, you never thought of me

From desperate dreams at last I woke
Sweet sfumato, up in smoke

I wanted you so fervently, my dear
But my desire was covered by my fear
I loathe it so, my naïve, childish heart
It makes me stop before I even start

Destroyed by words I never spoke
Hopes for us went up in smoke
