I want to be impressed like I used to be,
when she held my every thought captive.
Like a lion in a cage on a stage at a carnival
I put my heart on display
and it would beat for her.
But the sucession of it's rhythmic display
wasn't enough to keep her.
It wasn't enough to make her love me.
It wasn't enough.
I want to be blind to the world as I used to be,
my eyes hidden with the vail of love's facade.
It was naive to think
things were all okay,
just because my cloudy mind
was addicted to a beautiful bitch
that never really loved me.
It's a lot fucking easier to see the world
now that the beauty's gone
and the love is gone
and my heart is...
probably somewhat still in there somewhere
maybe.
And I'd toss her a wave if I saw her today
but a smile would be too much effort.
I fell for that girl.
The bottom fell out.
I suppose I'm still falling.
The further I get from the top of the world,
the more I long to return
with a new love,
a new captor of my heart,
with a brand new start.
I'll try not to be naive this time.
No promises.
