Don'T Get Attached

Wrapped in the sheets, Her scent all around me. I listen to my heart beat, Wishing my dreams hadn't become reality Her quiet whispers echo in my ears. The promises, the lies The birth of my fears All started with my one night stand. Drunken courage, daring approaches All intent towards a night of no strings No attachments, no commitment Been through to much To get close again But here we are I'm tied to you Forever yours and as you whispered you love me and said we'd never part the only words that came to my lips we're "what beautiful words for such a cynical heart" I'm trapped in your lies But I'm blind, playing off the pain and fear as butterflies Don't get attached It's the repeating mantra in my head But I'll go where I'm lead Following your voice like the drug you've become.
