A Grave to Us

I waited for you under false hope,

With my hair falling into my face,

To hide the tears that betrayed me.

For a moment I lived

Inside the reflection of your eyes.

You whispered promises into my skin,

And my heartbeat silenced my mind.

I couldn't hear the warning,

Couldn't see the end.

I mistook your echoes

For forever again.

With no walls to keep out the pain,

I disappeared into the hollows,

The only place that ever felt like home.

Find me buried there today.

Walls replaced with dirt.

A grave to emotion.

A grave to us.

Captivated by a kiss,

I surrendered every wall I built.

Open.

Exposed.

You looked behind my curtain

And found raw passion,

Reckless devotion,

A heart with nowhere left to hide.

Fear made me a victim

Of your false promises.

You traded whispers of love

For whispers of doubt.

With no walls to keep out the pain,

I disappeared into the hollows,

The only place that ever felt like home.

Find me buried there today.

Walls replaced with dirt.

A grave to emotion.

A grave to us.

Oooooo...

A grave to us.

Oooooo...

A grave to trust.

I'm burying all my emotions.

I'm burying every promise.

I'm burying every reflection of you.

With no walls to keep out the pain,

I disappeared into the hollows,

The only place that ever felt like home.

Find me buried there today.

Walls replaced with dirt.

A grave to emotion.

A grave to us.

Oooooo...

A grave to us.

Oooooo...

A grave to trust.
