lyrics

I used to think this dream was real
That we would fall into a future all our own
I never learned, I should have known
That fate would treat this as a lesson still to be
I lived to love, I tried to say
The things I thought would bring those brighter days his way
And though my words were all I had
I hoped that what he heard would somehow be enough

You wouldn’t hear me (all this time)
We didn’t listen (all this time)
I never thought I could be so misunderstood (all this time)
This shit is driving me crazy (all this time)

I tried to tell him how I feel
I shied away so I could keep him close to me
And so exposed Achilles heart
My one true weakness to exploit, he sought revenge
A sweet embrace, a gentle kiss
A fantasy it seemed to be, but not like this
And through the night these dreams I kept
The days, the weeks, the months, the years I only wept

How could you (damn your life)
You knew my life would never be the same (changed my life)
I never thought you could be so ungodly cruel (damn your life)
From what you took from my sanity (damn this life)

We had to learn our lessons (of our lives)
We had to fight our demons (pay our price)
I never thought I could be so in love with you (in my life)
But I’ll release you softly (and bless your life)

We had to learn our lessons (of our lives)
We had to fight our demons (pay our price)
I never thought I could be so in love with you (in my life)
But I’ll release you softly (and bless your life)
You made me happy (all this time)
You still surround me (in my life)
I never thought I could be so in love with you (in my life)
But I’ll release you softly (and bless your life)
