• You said, 'Lay down your head and listen to my heartbeat'
    Not knowing any better, I had easily complied
    Only until I heard the broken melody of your strings
    Did I feel the impact of our words collide

    You threw the words, 'I love you' like an unwanted rag
    I just smiled through the heavy-laid confusion
    And that day, my soul started truly mourning
    For the loss of our bittersweet illusion

    I was blissfully ignorant; You were painfully fearless
    Standing together we were two great, falling fools
    We were just two ignorant star-crossed lovers
    Continuing to bypass the standard rules

    I could feel my soul's tears carve through your stone heart
    Resistance pulling like an endless tug-of-war
    Bashfully ignorant, I thought it was a mere game
    Playfulness tearing down your fragile inner core

    You threw the words, 'I love you' like an unwanted rag
    I just smiled through the heavy-laid confusion
    And that day, my soul started truly mourning
    For the loss of our bittersweet illusion

    I took my head off your chest, I heard the melody falter
    Like the one thing that made it work had dispersed
    It felt like a helpless young child reaching for his mother
    Only for the child to forget that it didn't come first
