Not Giving Up On You

to my golden boy, pedestal and all~

we build our towers
house of cards just to see them fall
entertainment for the masses
we are the same type of person
with different strong points
i can stay while you stray
a bed of roses
wilted petals and empty bottles
maybe you're just not worth it
but seeing you now and always
in my mind
i forgive you

love makes you crazy
love makes you blind
i know she knows i know
and you pretend it's all okay

love makes fools
and this fool's still not giving up on you

i know she knows
and i know she knows i know
standing in the same room
a veil of lies a web of desire
we stand and smile
we stand and talk
there's nothing here
nothing here
at all
to talk about
to rant about
nothing to deny and nothing to hide
i know she knows and i know she knows i know
give and take
the same old lies
fake conversations
piercing eyes
make believe smiles
tonight you are mine
tonight i am hers
tonight she is his
tonight this fool's still not giving up on you.
