[Melodic Piano intro]
[Verse 1]
I remember how they warned me
Every. single. one.
My downfall disguised in vivid color
Lavender sunsets, purple technicolor
hopeful delusion like honey on my tongue, your betrayal, like burnt copper
how it tastes to tell them i was wrong...
I guess we will never know cuz
I'll tell them it was bad timing
Please, anything but the truth
How you really just left me here
Devoid of life and haunted by the ghost of you.
The temporary comfort was enough for you. But for me, it was everything
In you, I found that home I had been homesick for but never really known.
And you took that from me, too
[Chorus] [angry, sad, powerful]
It's just a shame that you knew..
You knew the whole fucking time
That i would trust you implicitly
So You rewrote the prophecy
into your own masochistic joke
What was the punch line again? I still don't know
[Verse 2] [sad but upbeat]
The prophecy said it was supposed to be you
So much was promised
And when you left i watched all those burn too
Because after it was all said and done
You set the bar to a whole new kind of '1'
And If i know nothing else, I know one things true
Nothing will ever be the same, not after this
Not after you
[Hook]
You must have finally done it,
Knocked me off my rocker, cuz,
My conversations with the walls?
Oh, yeah, they're true
At least they don't mention you
Or how they hold you hostage
So Tangible and trapped beyond my reach.
They whisper "You're important. to me"
Over and over. Over and over.
[Chours]
It's just a shame that you knew
You knew the whole fucking time
That i would trust you implicitly
So You rewrote the prophecy
into your own masochistic joke
What was the punch line again? I still don't know
[Verse 3]
"You're mine and I'm yours"
That moment became the light at my core
Because, I really was.
You pried open every barred door
and there was no part of me left that wasn't completely yours
[hook]
Please, I beg, to whatever God's will hear
Let it have been real
Just this once, Just this man
Who changed everything I am.
I remember how he looked at me
That couldn't have been fake could it?
[Bridge]
I am physically unchanged and yet permanently altered.
What's that cliche about time and perspective?
Well, fuck time and it's perspective too Because neither will give me you
And you're gone now, all your magic too
[ crescendo]
All those moments he redefined
Revelry, chaos, his lips on mine
Autumn days and rain soaked highways
One hand on the wheel the other on my thigh
"I am his and he is mine"
I relive our story every night
So I'll let these tears fall
one last time,
One last time, I promise myself
[ Dae crescendo][conclusion]
Theres an 'after this', for me, i know it
But the prophecy came true
I'll never love like that again,
not after this,
not after, you.
