lyrics

Up on trial, this conversation will betray denial,
Incipient but gaining
Come to prey on those who cannot speak the truth

Between the lines, all the words that I can’t seem to write -
My secret masterpiece
Cuz I can’t make you love me how I want you to

The more I drift, the resounding din of loneliness desecrates my spirit
I can’t face all this any more than you

A veil sits, draped across the face of happiness
I swear it could be ours
But I can’t make you love me how I want you

You came to me an aura in the gloom
Fluttered through me, footprints in my room
Backdated sentiments suddenly manifest in droves
The roaming silhouettes
Retreat and acquiesce to hope

The more i try to say, the less I seem to prove
Falling short of substance from this conquest I recuse
You’ll never be what I wanted you

Was it worth it? Are you certain?
I’ll never find another you
Are you hurting Like i’m hurting?
You’ll never be what I wanted you
