Dancing on the edge of my heart shaped abyss
I can't help but think of the things that I'll miss
Coming ever closer to the end of this sick game
I stand here left with no one but myself to blame
I ease just one step closer hoping soon to end it all
I'm just waiting for the next step, waiting for the fall
My feet begin to slip and my head begins to spin
I tried to fight this feeling but slowly I've given in
I close my eyes and dry the tears streaming down my face
I think of you, all the pain, how fast I'll be replaced
Stretching out my arms I breathe just one last breath
Clinching my fists I take this final step
Falling ever faster into this darkened hole
The last thing that I think of is how you killed my soul
My last few seconds now before my fateful end
I've loved you much too long to simply be your friend
I stumble and I fall
I am human just like you
I don't understand it all
I am lucky to get through
This pedestal you've built
soon will hit the ground
You'll see my looming guilt
My imperfections will be found
Disappointment is your path
When you place your hope in me
So many things I lack
I don't know what it is you see
This delusion that you hold
you say I am your all
but this pedestal grows old
and soon you'll see me fall.
I hope you feel the pain that you have put me through
I hope she sees the lies deep inside of you
I hope you cry a thousand tears the way that I have done
I hope you eventually see just what you've become
I hope you wake each morning dreading your next breath
I hope you have what heart you've got ripped out of your chest
I hope you wish you were with me each second of the day
I hope you miss my smile and the things that I would say
I hope your soul is shattered and that you realize your mistakes
But most of all I hope that your heart too will break.
Paper hearts, silk flowers
late nights spent talking for hours
holding you close never letting you go
this artificial life is all that I know.
After all this time I now realize
we've been living nothing but lies
I accept this now and I'm lost in this lie
but I choose to be happy and silk flowers don't die
Love is patient, love is kind
Love is beauty, love is blind
Love is heaven, love is hell
Love is pain you know to well
Love is bitter, love is sweet
Love is the one we hope to meet
Love is forever, love always ends
Love of a lover, love of a friend
Love deep inside you or worn on your sleeve
Love is one question...why do they leave?
