They asked me ''How did you get over him?'' ''How did you get over him so quickly?" I smiled and I laughed A crazy laugh I cried and I laughed A silent cry A crazy laugh I told them "I tricked my heart into believing that I didn't need him."
The brain knows the truth, the heart is a sucker for love songs.
You replaced the sun many years ago An ideal apparition of you floating My central perfection to dance around A love that one could only dream about Now I can only see you when I dream
The claws of fate play the harp beautifully Leaving me often in shambles and unruly To fantasies over adoration so wasted The candles in my shrine now dust The mechanics inside of me all rust
You brush the hair from her eyes And lines grow and I go grey This wound doesn't seem to heal No matter how many times I've spun Around you with your arms crossed
