Nothing is as what it seems
A voice so soothing, now it haunts me in my dreams
Pleasure turned to poison, infecting all my memories
Sensual silhouette turned demonic as if possessed
Hopeless love turn soured, can't escape its dread
My reality's been shattered, manipulated by the lies you fed
Even when I'm happy, I just want to be dead
And I guess
You know the rest:
Melancholy lyrics to a song I'll never write
Somedays I just want to have another fight
Write a song to piss you off, never to win your heart
Why would I when you tore mine apart?
Nothing is as what it seems
Persevere through withdrawal of your love and all our dreams
Addicting like oxycontin, toxic like methamphetamine
I miss the way you'd tear me down and make me feel so dumb
I miss the kisses you'd leave behind after leaving me so numb
We'd get high in the night and melt our brains when we were young
Can I rewind and unwind with you one more time, or is that done?
And I guess
You said it best:
"I'll never forget the love we had,
A love like yours I'll never have again"
If that were true why can't you change?
I grew for you but all you left for me was pain
You're never as you try to seem
What you say is never what you mean
Cognitive dissonance has you by the reins
When you act this way what do you have to gain?
When you talk to me, your voice, it sounds so pained
No emotion in your eyes, baby you look so plain
Like your soul has died and the life has left your veins
Damn baby girl, I guess I must attest you're the same as I
Lets address this depression as we hold each other through the night
Lets make a mistake that at least will make us feel alive
For a time
I forgave you then, I would forgive you now
My mind, it scolds, by my heart knows how
To look behind the bruises and the scars
To see the beautiful thing you are
Buried down and hidden so far
If I can change, so can you
I only changed just for you
Without you what do I do?
Who am I a better person for?
Life without you is such a chore
And this rumination I must ignore
These lingering feelings I just abhor
Throw this love away; I want it no more
I don't regret walking out and closing the door
Forget those nights close your eyes hold me more
Nothing is as what it seems
A voice so soothing, now it haunts me in my dreams
Pleasure turned to poison, infecting all my memories
Sensual silhouette turned demonic as if possessed
Hopeless love turn soured, can't escape its dread
My reality's been shattered, manipulated by the lies you fed
Even when I'm happy, I just want to be dead
And I guess
You know the rest
