The Winter's Tale

Keeping my hopes down, no reason to pray

It's safe to say you've been led astray

Too far-gone, too far to turn back

I cannot change the way you are

You're the star of the dullest play

Of the worst Shakespeare on earth

Lights on

We bow in rows and smile away

And when the crowd has left you'll change

Erase the smile from your empty face

So how can you judge me and say you mistrust me

When your own disguise ain't reality?

Lights on

I cannot change the way you are

Cheers

Raise the glass high, dive right in

I'll drink to all times you misguided me

I am so done with saving you from yourself

Do you remember a life without tears of misery?

A greater time, less tragedy?

You live with an urge to destroy

The habit of ruining everything

You turn gold into stone

Assuring all tales end up tragically

I cannot change the way you are

I cared enough to be there

While you never cared at all

Attempts gone bad, all torn to shreds

So ungrateful for the feeding hand

A life without tears of misery

A greater time, less tragedy

You never cared at all

Keeping my hopes down, no reason to pray

It's safe to say you've been led astray

Too far-gone, too far to turn back

I cannot change the way you are

Cheers

Raise the glass high, dive right in

I'll drink to all times you misguided me

I am so done with saving you from yourself

Cheers

Raise the glass high, dive right in

I'll drink to all times you misguided me

I am fucking done, so take care and good night
