In sunlight I hate you
In moonlight I dream of you
The day is filled with moving on
The night is stained with falling back
In brightness I know what I want
In darkness it’s you that I haunt
_____________________
I always knew the ending and saw it coming
But I closed my eyes and it hit me like a tsunami
Blindly drowning in the mess of us
Until time and healing swept me ashore
I heard the warnings loud and clear
But I pressed my hands on my ears and didn’t hear the fire of the gun
Brokenheartedly I died in the grave of our affair
Until time and healing brought me back to fie
I felt the bittersweet thorns of false love grow in me
But I tricked myself into thinking I was fine
Filled with pain I fell into a coma of existing in your game
Until time and healing woke me up to love myself
They all told me before, trying to talk me out of it
But I didn’t listen, lied and swore I was fine
In denial and lost in delusions I lost sight of what’s real
Until reality got me back to hold me and to keep me
