Songtexte

I saw the cracks but I painted them gold
Loved the idea not the man I was told
You wore your silence like it made you deep
But truth was a hollow you couldn't keep
I built a life on the dreams in my head
Laid down my heart where your lies were fed
I kept on shining thought you'd catch the flame
But no matter my love you stayed the same
I thought you were changing but you never grew
I carried a vision that was never you
You're not the man I prayed you'd turn into
Just a shadow I kept trying to see through
I held the illusion ignored all the signs
But the truth hit harder than any goodbye
I held on too long but now I know
You'll never be the man I hoped
I made excuses I covered your flaws
Thought my love could rewrite who you really are
But feelings will trick you they rewrite the truth
And I was a dreamer still tied to my youth
You wore potential like it made you strong
But I should've known it was borrowed all along
I kept on waiting but now it's clear
The man that I loved was never here
I thought you were fire but you faded to smoke
I carried the dream that I never should've wrote
You're not the man I prayed you'd turn into
Just a shadow I kept trying to see through
I held the illusion ignored all the signs
But the truth hit harder than any goodbye
I held on too long but now I know
You'll never be the man I hoped
I thought you were steady but you slipped through my hands
My mistake was believing in somebody's plans
I fell for potential it cut me so deep
But love built on maybe is love you can't keep
Love a man for the truth you can see
Not the picture you paint of who he could be
Don't waste your time on a promise of change
Choose someone real you won't need to rearrange
