Reality of love
The lie of a stranger
Why does it hurt me so
Can't these rumors
Just let me go
True, I stepped out of bounds
I took that chance
Maybe I'm to blame
For being burned by loves' dance
So in the dark
I crouch again
Wondering when I'll be saved
By a friend
My friend never shows
So I'm left here alone
A chore that is mine
One that burdens my soul
Forevermore wanting
To be safe
I embrace isolation
Loneliness my grave
I'll never greet love again
At my door
Avoiding its pain forevermore
