Bittersweet City of Pain

The darkened city fades in the background just like you wished your feelings would It’s been a long year longer than you’d like to live It’s hard to forget how things were just a few months ago And it’s hard to remember how things were before It’s funny how how quickly people change It’s funny how how quickly she could change And it’s funny how how things never stay the same And it’s funny how She promised Heaven but gave as much Hell as she could Finally woke up to see the stinging truth To see the lies in her empty smiles Finally woke up to hear the burning truth To hear the emptiness in her “I love you”s Finally woke up to feel the death she dealt To feel the coldness in her heart The new year is coming but will this one finally become the past? A would-be anniversary spent in nostalgia and depression Amnesia is a blessing you would gladly accept to escape this fate You’d trade a fortune to erase the misfortune she gave to you You’d trade a fortune to erase the time she spent with you You’d trade a fortune to have her fall in love with you like you thought she did before But she’s long gone and fading behind you She’s in the city but she’s still on your mind If you could just leave your thoughts in her apartment you surely would For now it’s so long bittersweet city of pain Maybe you’ll be back when all your thoughts of her have been washed away with the rain
