When we met, it was roses and wine
The tender years, takin life in stride
Best of days, and a fall from grace
An empty stare, with your poker face
BRIDGE CHORUS
Just an illusion, a fool's paradise
The holy grail, the pie in the sky
It's hard to let go, when you think that you care
I can't keep building castles, castles in the air

We had something, that was sturdy and strong
Degradation, foundation is gone
Misconception, wishful thinking at best
Flight of fancy, that was destine to crash

It's hard to take it, when your on cloud nine
Self-deception, meet the end of the line
Backstabbing, scandalous intent
Dead and buried, exhausted and spent
