I feel like it's not fair to let you love me
Like I'd be taking something from you if you did
If I give in
I know it takes two
But I have the burden of knowing
And what I know of this world doesn't lend itself to love
There's no room for it
Not for long anyway
So let me hold onto you
As much as I can
Before you go by my wayside like the rest
But wayside you must go
Cause in the end
I'll never trust that you love me
And I'll never trust that you'll stay
I know down to my bones that I'll always be alone
So your eyes do nothing for me
And that universe that I see
That looks the same as mine
Is a reflection
It's exactly what I need
Smoke and mirrors every time
