Face of Failure
Your words were like shards cutting deep into my veins
All you ever left me with was the pain
Knowing I will never be anything to you, or anyone else
You beat me down until I was black and blue
And you kept telling me that we would pull through
I should have known that only time would tell
You hide the pain so well, but now your true colors have shown
And nothing could ever replace the only heart I have ever known
You made me believe that I was perfect
But inside every perfect face
Comes the flaws I wish I could erase
But nothing could ever heal me like you do
You used me for your advantage and took a toll on my mind
And every time I see you I loose track of time
Knowing that you were my only option left
But in each happy face
Lies the memories I wish I could evade
But nothing could ever hurt me like you do
