My eyes resign dissolving vision
To vividness of sense and sequence
Betrayed by certain circumstances
Outside the world I've known

How cold and cut bewildered silence
Left me for a newer face
While sadness dances gracefully
In this forgotten place

Regardless of the introspection
I found myself in your reflection
I guess it's all too easy now
To look the other way

Saving graces, trading places
Asking for a sense of hope
But the line to heaven's ringing busy
And I walk this path alone

What kind of sick games were we playing?
No rules, no constitution
No sympathy for one another
And nowhere left to go

Regardless of the introspection
I see myself in your reflection
I guess it makes it easier
To turn your eyes away

And I'm not asking you to lie and tell me
That you love me still
I know that it's untrue
(I know that it's untrue)

So I'm not asking you to lie and tell me that
You want me too
I know that it's untrue
(I know that it's untrue)

Saving secrets unembellished
Left without revision
Sacrosanct and underground
Why do I need you so?
(Why do I need you so?)

And sentiment was none-too-careful
Delivering the means
To break the balance of perfection
And eliminate these dreams

Regardless of the introspection
I see myself in your reflection
I guess it makes it easier
To turn your eyes away

And I'm not asking you to lie and tell me that
You love me still
I know that it's untrue
(I know that it's untrue)

So I'm not asking you to lie and tell me that
You want me too
I know that it's untrue
(I know that it's untrue)

So what do I do?
What do I do?
I still love you..

Life is such a tangled mess
With cruel lines dividing us
I don't want to be
On the other side from you

And I'm not asking you to lie and tell me that
You love me still
I know that it's untrue
(I know that it's untrue)

So I'm not asking you to lie and tell me that
You want me too
I know that it's untrue
(I know that it's untrue)
