Through Rose

You promised me the world

Filled my mind with hope and empty dreams

You promised to protect me

But I now realize

I’m better off without you!

I’m better off without you

You took advantage of my innocence and optimism

A child looking through rose

Wanting nothing more than harmony in a broken world (in a broken world)

I looked up to you

Your confidence hid your intents so well

An empty reflection that gave me a false sense of comfort

I don’t have the words to say

But I hope that one day

You will see what you did to me

And all the pain you’ve made

You fooled me into thinking I was your reason why

I craved your presence

Hung onto every word and lie

That skipped across your lips

Your shallow decadence

Skewing the reality of my consciousness

You made me believe I couldn’t do this without you

That you were the missing piece

The missing piece to my life

You made me think you could fix all the damage done (and love me all the same)

Covered my eyes from the truth

To hide who was really left to blame!

I don’t have the words to say

But I hope that one day

You will see what you did to me

And the pain you made

I just wanted you to know that I put my faith in you

I wanted to believe, but you threw it all away

I see what I am to you

A pawn in a game only you knew

Living to be the hero in the light

Striving as the menace while I sleep at night

Digging your fangs deeper in my heart

Convincing me, while you play the part

You’re the remedy to wounds left by you

Grinning at all that you’ve put me through

I’m better off without you

I don’t have the words to say

But I hope that one day

You will see what you did to me

And the pain you made

I just wanted you to know that I put my faith in you

I wanted to believe, but you threw it all away

I see what I am to you

A pawn in a game only you knew

Living to be the hero in the light

Striving as the menace while I sleep at night

Digging your fangs deeper in my heart

Convincing me, while you play the part

You’re the remedy to wounds left by you

Grinning at all that you’ve put me through!
