Through Rose

You promised me the world
 Filled my mind with hope and empty dreams
 You promised to protect me
 But I now realize.
 I'm better off without you
 I'm better off without you
 You took advantage of my innocence and optimism
 A child looking through rose
 Wanting nothing more than harmony in a
 Broken world
 I looked up to you. Your confidence hid your intents so well
 An empty reflection that gave me a false sense of comfort
 I don't have the words to say
 But I hope that one day
 You will see what you did to me
 And all the pain you've made
 You fooled me into thinking I was your reason why
 I craved your presence. Hung onto every word and lie
 That skipped across your lips
 Your shallow decadence
 Skewing the reality of my consciousness
 You made me believe I couldn't do this without you
 That you were the missing piece to my life
 You made me think you could fix all
 The damage done and love me all the same
 Covered my eyes from the truth to hide who was really left to blame
 I don't have the words to say
 But I hope that one day
 You will see what you did to me
 And the pain you made
 I just wanted you to know that I put my faith in you
 I wanted to believe, but you threw it all away
 I see what I am to you
 A pawn in a game only you knew
 Living to be the hero in the light
 Striving as the menace while I sleep at night
 Digging your fangs deeper in my heart
 Convincing me, while you play the part
 You're the remedy to wounds left by you
 Grinning at all that you've put me through
 I'm better off without you
 I don't have the words to say
 But I hope that one day
 You will see what you did to me
 And the pain you made
 I just wanted you to know that I put my faith in you
 I wanted to believe, but you threw it all away
