The Mason

I've held on so long To what I wanted You to become I see that you are not What I dreamed you to be But that's not your fault See long ago I made up my mind She would be the love of my life But now I see Ignorance is bliss I fell in love with an idea in my head But that's not who she is See I will take a thought And let it grow Till underneath it's weight I am caught When all I saw was a glimpse Of who you might be And I laid down these bricks Building walls so lovely and strong There's no way, no chance I am wrong Our castle stands and I know where she'll fit She'll be with me here in my arms, I'm crazy in love With who I think she is When I finally get to see you I latch onto the hope I see in you I won't let go, I'll say "Look there's a chance what I hoped for might actually be so!" But I cannot justify this Small suspicion that slowly is creeping in That the castle walls are shaking I fight the fact maybe I was mistaken And I hate when I knew Nothing was real In all that I had believed to be true And the walls Came crumbling down And all I could think was "Where is all that wasted time now?' See long ago I made up my mind She would be the love of my life Now I see I never really know her one bit I fell in love with an idea in my head But that's not who she is
