Alternative

You build yourself an alternate reality
You live it, you breathe it
You let it carry you away
There you are no longer the person you were before
Before the betrayal, before the pain
Before he turned you away
This person you've become,
You cling to her too hard
Hard enough to fall, hard enough it hurts
Hard enough that I have to turn my eyes away
You can't see that your alternative is hurting you,
Hurting you, destroying you
You say we don't understand,
But it's really you that has no clue
