lyrics

You waved goodbye in last night's dream, you held a bouquet of pain
I begged you to stay one last time my words all in vain
I hate and need you at the same time and yet miss you so bad
Like all the best times in my life have all been had

I really miss the joy of spring the sunset and when birds sing
My life's gone blind never seeing the simple joy in being
The child forgot how to play the rainbow turned gray
A lonely world of chilling frost where all seems lost

I invested so much more of myself than you ever could
And I gave up so much more of myself than you ever would
I took foolish risks and gambled my soul and then you got it all
I put up a defense but despite it all you tore down the wall
And I felt so foolish and out of control
But I couldn't help but play the role of no even if i lost my soul

Well perhaps then to put it another way I could win you back
And then you'd complete me without the real me and be all that I lack
Maybe the place I find myself in is not without hope
I need to believe it so very much otherwise I can't cope
And I felt so foolish and out of control
But I couldn't help but play the role of no even if i lost my soul

I gave up all my power to you it left me in a wreck
I stood still and let you put the noose around my neck
I was never victim I was always volunteer
Clinging on to hope despite knowing the end was never

You were both my dream girl and addictive like a drug
I let you walk all over me like some cheap dirty rug
You know where the door is and how to use it too
I'm better off without you and now I know it's true
