Pathetic Hopes
Stupid and pathetic
And now I regret it
I don't know anything anymore
Besides the smile that I felt
Spread across my lips
As I was free falling through the sky
Nothing lasts forever
I now know that for sure
Because reality knocked me down
The moment I hit the ground
And nobody could hear me.
No one could have shielded me
Or protected me from it at all
For it was too late to slip a hand
In front of my face
So that I would never know
Because over a shoulder
There he was in my view
The very second that I knew
That fate had screwed me over once again
As I'm forced to admit
That it's too late for me now.
Flowers kissed and given to you
I miss it now
Just the way I wanted to
I knew that you weren't going to stay
As the pedals blow to a land far away;
And I'll never see them again.
Swearing to myself
That my hopes would die
But deep down inside
They rested, waited
And emerged at the perfect moment
To shatter everything I had ever dreamed
And break the remains of my heart
For the very last time.
Sometimes I wish I wasn't such an idiot... And if you can read this, then you're smart enough to highlight. ;)
