she was something of an oddity
I loved so much that I was blind to see
maybe, in some way in retrospect
maybe, it was all one sided made up in my head...
I made her laugh and this is what she said
she said "I'm dead"
I got off the bed and said "no not yet"
through the looking glass
I smoked out and I smoked past
is this why nothing lasts
one of those questions I just hate to ask...
I look at photographs
what a great time we had
I remember how we used to laugh
and now the edges they turn, as I burn,
them to ash.
I'm told I've a broken heart
I fold, can I return it at wal-mart
I'll put a new one right in the cart
prices are low, half off they're marked
at least then I could start
finding my way through the dark
now I have to find where I parked
all I know is I know where we aren't,
I spent all my time with your defense
made a fool of me to all my friends
they would ask me, where my mind went
and I would just pretend - when
you would say you loved me that you knew what that meant...
but you didn't...
one day she'll realize
she missed out, I'm a hell of a guy
really if she did I'd be rather surprised
I met her one day and i was shy
I will no longer ask why
magic, and tragic... have to rhym.
but I won't spend any more time
looking for something not meant to be
with me
Or mine... so nevermind
there's nothing there to find
behind, two faced lies
You're thoughtless eyes
now that I think twice
you were never really on, my side...
of this one sided ride...
