You are the one who got me to
Open my heart just to make it easier
For you to stab me where it hurts

You are the reason my days are wasted
Spent dreaming about better ones
A time when you still cared

Yet when I want to walk away from it
All the pain, all the emptiness
You blame me for leaving

You comfort my departure
With disgustingly ironic words
"I'll always be here"

Does this mean you'll be waiting
For me to change my mind
Make a mistake and come back

On the surface that sounds nice
It sounds like you don't want me to go
That after everything, you still care

But empty words are easily shattered
Unlike diamond, the surface is easily pierced
And the rotten core is revealed

You'll always be here?
You mean this desolate plain?
This ghost of a paradise you set ablaze?

You're waiting in the same
Dead end alleyway
That I'm trying to escape

The life you're giving me is not enticing
If you want me you'll have to move
Being "here" won't get you far
