I loved you the way I know
Showing no silver lining in time
Maybe a bit childish
All I promised you
Freedom setting you free for me
The little I've given you
Holding back time
Indulging myself like a spoiled king

Look how close we were
Look how close my lies got us

I loved you the way I know
Take back all those tears
You were about to serve me
Find someone else
Before the countdown touches you

Hear what I'm saying
I loved you the way I know
I despised myself
For the way I've become
A faithless spirit

Someday you've got to leave
But leave shreds
Of a porcelain smile behind
Fake it til you reach the door
Like I have all those times
I missed you when I knew
One day you'll be gone
