I guess we could call it as it is What we have before our eyes as the cold freezes Our hearts, our dreams, it's all suspended in balance But I never did complain, what more should I give a chance? I choose my battles but somehow I'm fighting for you Right where we started, somehow I'm paying the due Do you know why, love? Why did I choose us? The truth? I have no one else that could last Up close, it's just really convenient at this point past Are you angry? Sad? I am too—we're downcast How did we even brave storms and endless caprices I will stay by your side until we explode into a million pieces
The days bled by even though they're alike Words tore through, the same thoughts despite No amount of art could inspire me to move forward As I watch my reflection turn into a collection of shards I sit, I stare, I watch the wind blow by Thinking of what could have been—the ifs, the why I never did get far because I ended up sad Because I know the final chapter, having experienced the bad Shallow love stories, painting truths close to home That's our life, too late to override the monochrome It's been a ride—ups and downs through it all I collect our million pieces in my pitiful crawl
Leaves fall—the seasons have come and gone Nothing is new—not one under the sun Should I be glad, then—should I enjoy the dream Should I continue chasing it like playing with steam? You've always told me to stay still, to enjoy the present So why would you tell me now that you're all spent? You're tired? You're human but you forget that I am too My bones grow weary as I spend years not knowing what's true I think of the future, what could we find for us Will we find love, pain, freedom as thus? Because darling, I am living in the most dreaded hazes So cradle me in your arms to catch my million pieces
I reach out for you but my hands grip air I scream, I falter—my mind is too difficult to bear Is that why you left, because of me? Have you peeled back the curtains to reveal the travesty? Of the truth that we are nothing but convenience We shouldn't be more or we'll suffer the consequences But here we are—deceiving ourselves what we'll make it Tell me how our lives suddenly became a game to beat The sense of the world has left me early on Now, I realize what we've been missing since the dawn For years, we bore the fantasy from the farthest of reaches So stay by my side until we shatter into a million pieces
