Fake Smile

I'll always remain, for it's just the same here.
I drown in this pain, I drown in your tear.
You desecrate my heart, with such animosity.
You tore my world apart, yet I show you pity.
Could I find one moment, with clarity?
I watched as you went, and caused calamity.
These breath taking lights, shine through your eyes.
Those heart breaking nights, with those killing lies.
Would you recall, all the sorrow you've caused?
You know I sw, as your love solemnly paused.
All of my life, I have to dance on through.
I've fought off strife, for I loved you.
I'll walk across the ocean, to where the sky meets the sea.
You stole my devotion, then you left me.
I live, but you help me die.
So abusive, so I'll say goodbye.
What is this, your great trial?
I'll take a kiss, and shatter self denial.
What a day, for you to leave.
What could I say, what should I believe.
Remember what I said, "You better change or die."
I've left you for dead, now I laugh as you cry.
Will you do whats right, and help my heart mend?
Will you mess up tonight, and let this end?
I'm sorry for you, for you're now alone.
Now that we're through, don't even pick up the phone.
Fake smile, for all to see.
Accept my denial, for you left me.
Your life is going down the drain, while I watch you drown.
Now you know my pain, as you pushed me down.
I made a mistake, and told you I loved you.
You let my heart break, what should I do?
Your love so fake, yet there is nothing new.
