When you say you will love forever
Is it a lie that will only last for today?
And your tomorrows never do come.
You forgot where you put them yesterday.
Your false hope is contagious
And those that get sick with it
Die blinded by a lie
That hid in your truth.
Heart-stopping serenades flow from your arms
As you clench the throats of victims.
Their cries of pain and screams for help
Only add to your haunting melody.
Your home of dreams come true
Is filled with misery,
The brightly painted walls barely
Covering the scars of reality.
Don't try to put makeup in the face of life
As you slowly take it away
With no remorse
And your sunshine painted skies
Will soon be washed out
By the loneliness you give to others,
Free of charge.
But you keep collecting,
Collecting promises and sacrifices,
The shattered pieces
Of what I once called
Mine.

When you say you will love forever
Is it a lie that will only last for today?
And your tomorrows never do come.
You forgot where you put them yesterday.
Your false hope is contagious
And those that get sick with it
Die blinded by a lie
That hid in your truth.
Heart-stopping serenades flow from your arms
As you clench the throats of victims.
Their cries of pain and screams for help
Only add to your haunting melody.
Your home of dreams come true
Is filled with misery,
The brightly painted walls barely
Covering the scars of reality.
Don't try to put makeup in the face of life
As you slowly take it away
With no remorse
And your sunshine painted skies
Will soon be washed out
By the loneliness you give to others,
Free of charge.
But you keep collecting,
Collecting promises and sacrifices,
The shattered pieces
Of what I once called
