He was certain
So was I
There was comfort
In her sighs
Dreams and ideas should not be the same thing
You waited smiling for this?
Oh, she’d want it
If she knew
She could take it
I thought too
Be careful, be cautious, but you just wished harder
You waited smiling for this?
But they love you!
Over and over
They love you!
Thousands and thousands of eyes, just like mine
Aching to find who they are
Oh, they love you!
Oh, you can feel how they love you
Coated and warm, but that’s all they can do
Words only get through if they’re sharp
Oh, how fitting
For one so fake
Make me a fairy
Whatever it takes
And just like a tale my dream was a scam
You waited smiling for this?
I am burned out
I smell of smoke
It seeps through her cracks
And so I start to choke
Sentences sit in her mouth that are templated
You waited smiling for this?
But they love you!
Over and over
They love you!
Thousands and thousands of eyes, just like mine
Aching to find who they are
Oh, they love you!
Oh, you can feel how they love you
Coated and warm, but that’s all they can do
Words only get through if they’re sharp
Oh, maybe I'll talk about it
(Maybe I'll talk about it)
I can just talk about it
(I can just talk about it)
I'll never talk about it
(I'll never talk about it)
No, I cannot talk about it
Don't build hope on something broken
I am not cartoon
Cry for help, I am not joking
I might just leave soon
Don't build hope on something broken
I am not cartoon
Cry for help, I am not joking
I might just leave soon
