Mirage

Just maybe it would last

If it didn't move so fast.

Or if we were in better places

We wouldn't be in each other's faces.

My heart is breaking can't you see

What your empty promises do to me.

In spite of all the warning signs

Your sweet heart and mind have left me blind.

You taught me how to have no fear

And then you go and disappear.

I've lost my edge and thick skinned self

It seems you're intrigued by someone else.

This broken trust brought me to my knees
But I find myself still asking please
God bring this one back to me
Transformed and renewed
Like he used to be.

Maybe one day you'll look up

Maybe one day you'll treat me right

Maybe one day it will work out

But, today I must fly

Maybe one day you'll live in truth

Maybe you'll put yourself aside

Maybe I'll laugh again with you

But, today I must fly.

I have better things to do

Than look out the window all night for you

It's never once happened before

That I would be ignored

I see to the core of you

And can't be angry with you

I just wanted to see you through

To the truth you once knew.

Your words are like butter

But your heart is at war.

You make it easy to leave

But so hard to shut the door.

You gave me something I've never had

You brought me back to life 

Maybe you loved a version of me

That lives only in your mind.

I gave you everything I had

Hoping to bring you back to life

Maybe I loved a version of you

That lives only in my mind

Maybe one day we'll have moved on

Maybe we'll find another light

We'll forget this pain we knew

Today we must fly

Maybe one day I'll trust again

Maybe we'll hold each other tight

Maybe we'll make a new tune

But, today we must fly.
