Day by Day


It's so hard to see past the fairytale kind of theme, fake smiles in between a relationship so mean the road leading me to yours, keeping a heart distanced standing still while being lighted on fire, burning crisp black burns suffocating it first before being buried underneath this earth and the tar is melting with the pain tumbling your mind until you felt insane And the stars that glimmered so lovely, wasn't real because all you could see was the hurting falling black cold shackled like a slave Following lies walking to your grave smiling with the angels fallen demons in disguise A story so tender making your eyes swell, when your bitterness gets the best of you, making you feel confused, biting your tongue on doubt, makes you want to shout, just to get away, make you sleep your life away, so you don't feel the pain With no love just not enough, an apology that eats at you because it's a just a muse And like anger, its like love meeting a stranger Just intruding your space, a difficult reaction to take, with that look on your face because you thought you couldn't be loved, thinking they couldn't even care because your soul feels empty and bare Left cold awake, beaten black and blue can you feel this? can you feel this now? can you care? can you care for this now? I'll care for you now. can you feel this now? can you feel this hurt now?
