Brushed By

This starving artist cannot hold herself together with just heartstrings
I've worked so long but it's hard to keep up all these smiles that I've been faking

You were something real to me
Nothing more than you but everything
I thought that I needed and I let
You walk away from me laughing

Well if the weather could have changed the way you looked at me back then
I would have conjured such a storm I would have banished all my fears and said

That you were something real to me
Nothing more than you but everything
I thought that I needed and I let
You walk away from me laughing

Brushed by
And taken without thought
Though not even I
Could know more than I've grown up believing
How could someone so deceiving
Be so honestly
Passionately
Loved by me...

I don't know what is real
If what we had was naught, and
What I felt was wrong
I cannot feel
The brighter better future
When all of my dreams bring you

That you were something real to me
Nothing more than you but everything
I thought that I needed and I let
You walk away from me laughing

Brushed by
And taken without thought
Though not even I
Could know more than I've grown up believing
How could someone so deceiving
Be so honestly
Passionately
Loved by me...
