No Happy Endings/ Faded Desire

No Happy Endings 

Time to stop believeing in fairy tales

time to start seeing how you failed

waiting too long for you to make a move

in this dance it takes two to groove

thinking back on how you danced

I should've known I didn't have a chance.

I still can't deny the love I felt

I felt this warmth this sudden flame

the flame of hope burning so bright

this time I thought it felt so right

and like trust and desire

all hope is gone.

Time to start over

leave the past behind.

Looking straight ahead just have to keep walking

can't handle anymore of your talking.

Now I forget all the love and time spent

thinking about all the love left to give

too late for words I can't forgive.

No more thinking this has to be it

eighth time is always a charm

you just keep causing too much harm.

Taking it in stride going along for the ride

I wait and see someday i'll be a bride

no more fake smiles and words left unsaid

I take a line out of your head

it seems "Im too much to handle"

can't have someone whos going to mishandle

looking back never really understanding

why lies and pride is what you portray

I gather the strength to walk away.

    Faded Desire

I gather the strength to walk away
this strength I gather keeps you astray  

Your eyes your smile that touch I inspired 

is nothing more than a faded desire. 

Being with you is not the same

It seems I can't even remember your name.

Your words I know leave nothing to ponder

yet your eyes speak more than your words ever could

the mouth I so hungrily yearned for every second of the day

is now a vile hurtful vessel that leaves me without wonder

your words are harsh and cruel your soft lips hard and brittle.

  As you turn old and gray and filled with despair

remember who was their to guide you away

I tried to make you see the evil in your ways

I can't be your savior the cost is too steep

I have to start looking before I leap.

 

Next time you ache don't reach for my hand

with two separate worlds we can never be

our souls may be twined in an eternal connection

but mine is filled with affection and yours an incurable infection.
