I know we will end up getting hurt
Every memory cuts right through
Passing time as we grow and change
The memories never do
To hold the fleeting happiness
Together once shared
Had to capture past with photographs
Smiles we no longer wear
Instead are small
Sorrowful
Strained
Matching the sadness in pained eyes
Say we can retreive love lost
Telling ourselves lies
Sometimes have this look about you
Current of convincing energy
Against all sense and reason struggle
Trick my heart back into loyalty
Head above devoted delusions
Waiting for the rest of myself
My body's still stuck at rock bottom
After years of your loosely veiled hell
Love is the true Eldorado
Is a cruel mirage
Paradise we're not meant to find
Love is just pain camoflauged

Matching the sadness in pained eyes
Say we can retreive love lost

Against all sense and reason struggle
Trick my heart back into loyalty
Head above devoted delusions
Waiting for the rest of myself
My body's still stuck at rock bottom
After years of your loosely veiled hell
Love is the true Eldorado
Is a cruel mirage
Paradise we're not meant to find
Love is just pain camoflauged
