swore that youd be alright, but youre not

and i guess i just pretended i could change you
when i only ever walked behind your shadow

as for things we think we could make even better
i can speak personally, theres never enough feathers

but you swore that youd be alright
it was just a game for you too
that you always knew
and after all, i was the one to lose

so then why does it not feel like that?
tell me eyes lie
tell me youre happy
though i know youre not

tell me everythings changed
and that after, you let your heart rearrange

and let yourself reengage
and realized what i wasnt

that everything i think i am
is all a facade
that i cant see the real me
because its only for those who have found something lovely

that thats something im lacking
along with a heart

i know im a terrible person
i know that my hearts bent

and i hope i never left you unkempt
for months on end

like the days that i spent
after your heart was lent
to someone with dirty hands
who let you slip like grains of sand

and i let you burn out like a star
didnt care enough to watch from afar
and i disregarded the whole of the flame
didnt think you could be what you became

i guess i should be the one to blame
ignored my heart
and followed the wrong lane
hope your okay
