I am drinking myself to oblivion and you don't know why
I am drinking myself to oblivion and you're just fine
You haven't realized
I am drinking tonight
In a desperate attempt to forget you
The feel of your arms around me
The feel of your words on the back of my neck
The memories we build together
The first few bricks of what could have been an empire
The first few bricks you crushed under your foot
You destroyed me
Just like all the others have before you
Peaked at my soul,
Stole what you found
Ran away with pieces I can never get back
You're a thief and I'm hopeless
Unable to move on
Now that you have my heart
And I have nothing
Nothing but dust, tears and anger
For being a fool once again
Taking a step forward
Jumping into the void
In hope you would
Take the chance with me
You looked at me
And smiled away
I got blinded
Trusted you with my eyes closed
Didn't realize you were faking
Until from far away, I could tell your shape
Was still on the edge of the hole
And you have the ladder to bring me back
But behind you it stays still
As you watch me fall down
Fall in love
Hopelessly
