How does something so beautiful
Turn ugly so quickly
How does one moment
Open your eyes so clearly
They say love blinds you
I never thought this to be true
Until I looked in those blue eyes
And was completely consumed
You had me fooled for so long
Made me believe all these things
Only for me to realize
You were crushing my wings
I wanted to fly
I wanted to be free
So I shut you out
And threw away your key
I wanted to find myself
I wanted to be happy
I gave it everything
Hurt myself so badly
I gave you the best parts of me
And what I got in return
Was a sorry excuse for love
So I lit a match and watched us burn.
