lyrics

Be prepared now,
It’s never easy being wrong.
I’ll leave you be now,
You’ll come back to find me gone.
Only then you’ll know,
That what we had was real.
So forgive my excuse,
No one really knows how I feel
The one stated truth,
I gave away my youth,
I made a plan for you and me.
The one stated truth,
I disrespected you,
Won’t you close your eyes now, it’s just me.
The account is closed now,
The price I pay for ‘happy’.
The door is closed now,
What lies behind are memories.
So forgive my excuse,
It seems I misplaced the key.
So to say "I give up”,
Everybody knows that isn't me.
The one stated truth,
I gave away my youth,
I made a plan for you and me.
The one stated truth,
I disrespected you,
Won’t you close your eyes now, it’s just me.
Won’t you close your eyes now, it’s just me.
Won’t you close your eyes.
It’s safe to say the one thing that matters at all
Has moved just beyond my grasp
Please don’t you recall?
I understand if you hesitate this time
It’s sometimes hard to figure out
The truth in the lie
