A world of pain and deceit,
was all I found in your eyes
Yet I tried to give you my world,
in a faint effort to make you mine
You were nothing but a shadow,
one I tried too hard to hold
Too young and naive,
for thinking together we'd grow old
A fire in your pupils,
fueled by an icy heart
Not for a second did I think,
you would be the reason we'd part
Drawn to your affection,
how foolish it was of me
Now to be left here standing,
to leave this as just a memory
Your hands were daggers,
that I tried to caress
And your lips were poison,
that made me less
It was a love that devoured,
an insatiable craving
It was also a love that soured,
as time kept moving
Someone tried to give me their world,
but I could not give them mine
Because a world of pain and deceit,
was all they found in my eyes.

A world of pain and deceit,
was all I found in your eyes
Yet I tried to give you my world,
in a faint effort to make you mine
You were nothing but a shadow,
one I tried too hard to hold
Too young and naive,
for thinking together we'd grow old
A fire in your pupils,
fueled by an icy heart
Not for a second did I think,
you would be the reason we'd part
Drawn to your affection,
how foolish it was of me
Now to be left here standing,
to leave this as just a memory
Your hands were daggers,
that I tried to caress
And your lips were poison,
that made me less
It was a love that devoured,
an insatiable craving
It was also a love that soured,
as time kept moving
Someone tried to give me their world,
but I could not give them mine
Because a world of pain and deceit,
was all they found in my eyes.
