|
Don't get your hopes up |
|
Said the people I trust |
|
More easily said than done |
|
It's been a hard lesson |
|
There's something wrong when one becomes reluctant to fall in love |
|
When one's own blood stands pointing the gun |
|
My helplessness is a vicious cycle |
|
Causing frustration that debilitates |
|
One is truly paralyzed |
|
When one sees that time has begun to move too fast and too slow all at once |
|
And I can't determine whether it happened gradually or immediately, |
|
But my own weakness is now apparent to me |
|
Every day |
|
Everyone lies |
|
Even if they don't realize |
|
So go ahead and decide |
|
Focus your eyes on mine |
|
Tell me everything I'd die to hear after all this time |
|
You'll just change your mind |
|
And guilty conscience drives you to justify your actions |
|
then criticize mine |
|
Fool me twice |
|
I'm ashamed to find these hopes have gotten so high |
|
Always half-expecting your story to change |
|
Give me your word |
|
Then rescind |
|
Spit my confessions back in my face |
|
Nothing replaces trust like total control |
|
My helplessness is a vicious cycle |
|
Causing frustration that debilitates |
|
One is truly paralyzed |
|
When one sees that time has begun to move too fast and too slow all at once |
|
And I can't determine whether it happened |
|
Gradually |
|
Or immediately |
|
But my own weakness is now apparent to me |
|
Fathers and heroes may make promises they cannot keep |
|
But for the sake of continuing my life |
|
I will promise myself one thing |
|
That I send my last hope to apathy |
|
For it is the only hero that will save me |
