Did you hear it in my eyes and see it in my voice?
How beautiful I think you are, even when you’re crying
And how strong I know you are, even when you’re dying
But it’s one huge slip after another small step
And as soon as you fall, they are waiting to bury you
But it’s too late,
Because we have already buried ourselves in the mistakes that we’ve made
And they’ll forget you because you made them hate themselves
And they’ll remember you because you made them love themselves
But don’t give it up, girl, because no one deserves it
You’re a tough one to follow, and a hard one to hold
Just spare me the words of ‘I don’t love you anymore’
I’ve known you long enough to know
And I’ll forget about you just long enough to realize why I remembered you in the first place
It’s all the same fatal error; a beautiful downfall
The world cannot save you; it will only cut you down
I’ll reach out my hand, somebody save me now
When apologies are never enough
Sometimes the only thing you can do is walk away
I’ll fall away with grace
I wipe a tear away with the rain
To clear my vision from these clouded eyes
Sometimes, girl, the only way to fix yourself is to first let yourself shatter
Let the pieces of your empty soul scatter
And even if I am only fiction in your eyes
You are my only fantasy, in reality’s disguise
Do you feel it all changing with the passing of time?
Just save the pieces of my heart that make up this sad rhyme
If I could save you, believe me I would
I am forever yours, with a love so true
And you said that you loved me too
But don't you worry, girl, because the world will forgive you for the lies you told when you were broken
And I shatter
