Through Rose

You promised me the world Filled my mind with hope and empty dreams You promised to protect me But I now realize. I'm better off without you I'm better off without you You took advantage of my innocence and optimism A child looking through rose Wanting nothing more than harmony in a Broken world I looked up to you. Your confidence hid your intents so well An empty reflection that gave me a false sense of comfort I don't have the words to say But I hope that one day You will see what you did to me And all the pain you've made You fooled me into thinking I was your reason why I craved your presence. Hung onto every word and lie That skipped across your lips Your shallow decadence Skewing the reality of my consciousness You made me believe I couldn't do this without you That you were the missing piece to my life You made me think you could fix all the damage done and love me all the same Covered my eyes from the truth to hide who was really left to blame I don't have the words to say But I hope that one day You will see what you did to me And the pain you made I just wanted you to know that I put my faith in you I wanted to believe, but you threw it all away I see what I am to you A pawn in a game only you knew Living to be the hero in the light Striving as the menace while I sleep at night Digging your fangs deeper in my heart Convincing me, while you play the part You're the remedy to wounds left by you Grinning at all that you've put me through I'm better off without you I don't have the words to say But I hope that one day You will see what you did to me And the pain you made I just wanted you to know that I put my faith in you I wanted to believe, but you threw it all away
