So look in my eyes and tell me it isn’t real
Tell me every stolen glaze meant nothing
That there was no emotion when you spoke to me
Not an ounce of feeling
Lie to me if you have to
Lie straight to my face
And make me believe it
That I’m the one in your dreams
Draw her face over mine
Call me by her name if you must
Don’t leave me here in pieces
Hold them together
With your rotten hands
And withering heart
Unwelcoming and haunting
Don’t leave me here to cry
Running after you until my legs give out
Holding out childish hope
I’ll fulfill your every wish
Put on your best act
Be that for me
A perfect puppet
Smile and dance
Convince me that something meant anything
That it wasn’t an obsession
An illusion
A fabrication of my eyes
Tell me I didn’t read between those cursed lines
How creative my mind must be
To pull affection out of indifference
All I wanted was your care
I don’t want to sit here waiting anymore
Because after all, what is love good for?
Your cold, dark, bitter love.
Tell me every stolen glaze meant nothing
