Your hands were always as cold as ice
behind your eyes, you were dead inside
If not for the tears, I once watched fall
I would have said to myself, "Surely he has no heart at all"
The world outside could never see
Who you were, while you were with me
I thought to myself you were sheer perfection
Until I found out of your sinister deceptions
I never knew quite why we could not agree
Or what exactly it was, that you never saw in me
You could hold my heart in the palm of your hand
I would allow it for eternity if you saw fit
But instead you closed your fist
And slowly, you destroyed it
Loving was never quite the adventure
That leaving turned out to be
Never will you understand
Why your face continues to haunt me
Everything we never had
Remains locked within my head
Questions that were never answered
Lies that I'd been fed
Photographs keep the memories alive
Though I wish that some would perish
Holding hands, sparkling eyes
Oh, the days that we once cherished
And now the sad ending
That we have all been expecting
Stories of loves lost,
Hearts broken, and all to familiar rejection
My mystery man has moved on now
As have I, it seems
Unbeknownst to him however
His memory continues haunting me
