The Things I Didn't See

I watch my dreams crumble in your hand

And my tears turn to scorching grains of sand

What was I thinking? Letting you be the one?

I got caught up in something I shouldn’t have done.

Lost in the memories; Caught in the lies

I lose a part of myself every time I look into your eyes.

And I walk on… lost in everything I’ve done wrong

Something pulls me closer, when all I want to do is run

You call my name into the night and I turn away

Tears clinging to my face, nothing left to say

You wanted to make your point, you’ve made it

now there’s nothing left, love’s dying and there’s no way to save it.

Who could believe this lie I’ve told myself

I’ve created a burning, living hell

All I wanted was your love, to know you cared

But I think you were just too scared

And now as your last words fade away from me

You start looking at all the things you didn’t see

And I walk on… lost in everything I’ve done wrong

Still you pull me closer when all I want to do is run

You call my name into the night and I turn away

I’m crying, but there’s nothing left to say

You chose to make a point, you made it

There’s nothing left, our love’s dying with no way to save it.

Who could have thought that I was so foolish

So many times my efforts have proved useless

I was lost in love and became played by your words

And now I am left with the aches and the burns

Your words cut deeper than swords into me,

And I stand here staring at all the things I didn’t see.
