LYRIC FOR SALE

By SMR

You convinced me my tears dripped down your cheeks
But was I just deceived,
Because I wanted to believe,
Someone could understand what I feel?
Understand me

Unaware my tears kept on dripping down only ever my own cheeks
While you feigned to care and oh so convincingly,
That oblivious to the risk
You kissed my tear stained lips
Which once you tasted
Had your pupils dilated
And a monster had been created
Or had it just been reawakened?

You convinced me my tears dripped down your cheeks
But was I deceived,
Because I wanted to believe,
Someone could understand me?

The deception ceased
And I could no longer feel at ease
But like a fool too scared of seclusion
Naive to the point of delusion
I kept on believing you could change back to the person who I gave my love to

You convinced me my tears dripped down your cheeks
But was I deceived,
Because I wanted to believe,
Someone could understand what I feel?
Understand me

Deep down I dreaded the possibility
That the person I had fallen for was nothing more than a mere illusion
A manifestation created out of desperation, by my idealization and your skillful deception
A mask you wore torn off once I was wrapped around you

You convinced me my tears dripped down your cheeks
But was I deceived,
Because I wanted to believe,
Someone could understand what I feel?

But now I can see beyond my delusive senses
You can no longer hide your intentions
Yet in my desperation I refuse to believe that it was all just pretended
So I still don’t leave your side as I’m still hoping that hidden deep inside,
Beneath the anger,
Past the hatred,
Beyond the being void of empathy that seems to have replaced you,
There is still you,
The one I gave my love to

You convinced me my tears dripped down your cheeks
But was I deceived,
Because I wanted to believe,
Someone could understand what I feel?
Understand me

I don’t want to believe that you’re gone
Yet I miss you even when I’m with you while I fear what you’ve become
You keep hurting me
Savoring my tears
Yet it is I who chooses to stay here
Hoping you could change
Back to who I once thought I knew
But I fear you now
I don’t want to be near you now

Is there no salvation?
Am I to blame for your creation?
