Bitter

A million minds

All thinking for themselves 

Different race

Different sex

Dreaming of the things they want

The minds that never stop

Listening to the heart is false 

They are just words from old

It is our safety net from wanting more

You think of what you want too

I'll do the same

We will never meet

There is no end

So we just pretend to agree

When the doors are closed

You are free to go along your train of thought

Circle through your desires 

Young or old

Wishing or remembering...

You can't have them with me? 

...I know, of course not

Stressing always to get the point across 

I cannot read minds

That I am grateful for

Our minds is what makes us free

Yet the can hurt others without realizing

What's the point?

One person gives their heart

Regrets it once given

Wants to pass it along but realizes it too late

Left with desires 

What are you thinking about?

Nothing don't worry...

A million minds

But ask one

The closest One

Expect a lie

It's all false
