The Idea


I'm in love with the idea

The idea that you love me 

The idea that you care

The idea that we are meant to be

But it's all an idea

Its all an image in my mind

Its all lies 

I kill myself over the idea

The lie

Hoping one day 

One day this idea will be more

Hoping one day

You will exist 

Hoping one day you're real

But you're just an idea

A lie

A dream 

A hope

Youre just an idea 

But I wish you were real
