it started off like a dream
you cast your blinding spell on me,
close your eyes - maybe it'll help you see.
take a breath and hold it in.
don't let it out until your head starts to spin,
maybe it'll help you think.
bite your tongue, don't say a word.
even though you know you won't be heard, it hurts
when you've got so much to say.
look around, where's the thrill?
you can't deny that we've been rolling downhill for a while.
when was the last time you saw me smile?
you know its ending,
your heart is aching for the past.
your voice is cracking,
your eyes are weeping over him
for the last time.
it's not the same, when we were young.
you were the reason behind every song i sung but now,
i can't sing a line.
you held my heart on a string,
and over time i felt it dangling
from your cold weak grasp.
where's the love?
what happened to us?
it seems our souls are covered in a layer of dust.
where's the dream?
it seems you've taken the best of me for the last time.
where's the fight, where's the tears?
we've been going strong for 2 long years
but you don't seem to care at all.
this is the end, here i draw the line.
i'm all out of tears i used to shed at night.
time to say goodbye.
i'm done,
i'm finally through with you.
run along,
you know that you were wrong to treat me this way.
we're not okay,
we're not alright,
i'm sick and tired of lying that I'm fine.
i'm not fine.
i'm not fine.
i'm sick and tired of lying, for the last time.
