living a lie

It's true
The dark is my passion
In my tender fashion
I've been living a lie
When we make love
Sometimes it's good enough
Sometimes the scars and memories fade
And dissipate
Feelings displaced

If I
Could only turn back time
Maybe those moments could be mine
Ask why
Could it only be a time
I knew no better than this life.

This life
An ode to the jaded
Nothing worse to be created
And waste it all on your time
If mutual love
Had deemed it good enough
Maybe these hours would forgive
And it would be fine
To think of yesterday
It's so far away
Yet still the pain

If I
Could only turn back time
Take charge and leave behind
These lies
Won't suffice for a disguise
Believe me, there was a time
I knew no better than this life,
I knew no better than this life.
