Find me another truth
One that's not so insane
Wrap it in a shining hope
And give it me again
Tell me that I really mattered
Tell me that you really cared
Assure me 'twas in no vain hope
That to you my soul was bared
Always was I the brave fool
Surrendering to you my heart
Thinking together we would be
And that we'd never part
Even though I knew you lied
I believed every word you said
Ignoring the other voices
That clamoured in my head
Instead, wanting to believe
Your love would set me free
I clung to your honeyed words
Vowing that you loved me
I dismissed the brutal truth
Told myself you did not lie
With the ignorance of fools
I thought fate I would defy
Now I have to stand alone
Stripped of all belief
Left in quiet isolation
Bereft of all but grief
I believed in you once
I will believe in you again
You'll come back to me
Smile softly and then…
