Blind these eyes that couldn't see
through saccharine-sweet felicity
and chain these feet that led me there
beside myself, without a care
you fake the love, I'll take the blame
we're merely players in this game

but I'm the captain of the losing team.

Could you grant my last request
and strip this burden from my chest?
Break my heart and watch it bleed.
Your what I want; not what I need.
Wasted tears drip from my tongue
and by these feelings I am hung

As thoughts of you shift into memories.
