Dusk devours my endless wait
I keep inventing reasons for your sake
With all my zeal I rush toward your side
Only to see your back cold and detached
I pour all my fondness out for you
Hoping for a moment you’ll linger too
Harsh truth keeps unfolding to my view
In this world
It simply isn’t true
That loving someone means they’ll love you
Don’t drown in self-delusion in any bond
Don’t chase answers with regret lingering on
Equal embrace can’t be found in romance
Your devotion won’t guarantee a chance
The saddest jest: I treat you differently from the rest
Yet you treat me worse than all the rest
I see the truth foresee how it all will end
Yet deep inside my heart a dull ache remains
Drafting texts deleting afraid to send
My warmth is slowly drained by indifference
I cut through crowds to draw close to you
Yet ten thousand mazes stand between us two
I pour all my fondness out for you
Hoping for a moment you’ll linger too
Harsh truth keeps unfolding to my view
In this world
It simply isn’t true
That loving someone means they’ll love you
Don’t drown in self-delusion in any bond
Don’t chase answers with regret lingering on
Equal embrace can’t be found in romance
Your devotion won’t guarantee a chance
The saddest jest: I treat you differently from the rest
Yet you treat me worse than all the rest
I see the truth foresee how it all will end
Yet deep inside my heart a dull ache remains
Quit dwelling on who’s wrong or right in the past
Not every encounter has a lasting outcome
Still every meeting leaves its meaningful trace
Some people come along
Merely to teach you how to grow and face
Don’t drown in self-delusion in any bond
Don’t chase answers with regret lingering on
Equal embrace can’t be found in human bonds
Your devotion won’t guarantee a chance
The saddest jest: I treat you differently from the rest
Yet you treat me worse than all the rest
I see the truth foresee how it all will end
Yet deep inside my heart a dull ache remains
Let the night breeze blow old dreams away
Let time smooth all the ache and sway
Not every farewell needs words to convey
Silence makes the most graceful goodbye
