Why do all my thoughts
Come to nothing when expressed on paper?
And why do I have to restrain my sorrow
When it is all that I currently consist of?

And if this is what it feels like to be empty
Maybe I'd prefer to drown in shallow love.
Because atleast I'd be feeling something.

So much for friends.
I feel sick from all the sugar coated lies
That I swallowed.
Such a beautiful misery is now mine to partake in.

And goodnight baby.
These lips won't touch your's tonight.
And goodbye lover.
These eyes won't cry for you again.

Why do all my dreams
Fade away when I wake up?
And why do I still want you
When there is nothing left for you to give?

And if this is what it feels like to be broken.
Maybe i'd prefer to live without ever knowing.
Because atleast I'd be feeling nothing.

So much for love.
I feel sick from all the sugarcoated words
I feasted upon.
This beautiful misery is now mine to wallow in.

So goodnight baby.
Does is make you sad to know these lips won't touch yours ever again?
I didn't think so.

And goodnight lover.
Does it make you proud to know these words are about you?
I should hope so

And when it's all said and done
Was it just foolish love?
Or just a pathway to beautiful misery.
