So good to see you, dear.
I wish I could say it had been a long time.
Let's just get it over with.
I never was much for small talk.
(Just let it go...)

The boy is not here, in case you came to see him.
You'll be saddened to know that he didn't die so bravely after all.
I guess he wasn't so sweet on the inside?
You look at me with a sense of accusation.
Have you forgotten the fact that you helped to create this mess we are?
You know, I once had potential,
But I could never kill these flaws.

Still, I won't let you see me cry.
I've given you enough.
And you tricked me with your promises of love.
Now everything's a lie,
And I'm a liar.
So just stay away, because we both know that you only love yourself.

Ever since the first time that i took a bite of you,
You've held on to me as if you just couldn't let me go.
But it's not like you honestly love me.
And there's a fire inside i try to passify with you,
Because that's what you do - you take all my feelings away.
And I've become so uncomfortably numb.

But I won't let you see me cry.
I've given you enough.
And you tricked me with your promises of love.
Now everything's a lie,
And I'm a liar.
So just stay away, because we both know that you only love yourself.
A kiss could not be worth this all.
A touch could never last so long, or fight off this cold.
So don't offer me your love,
Because we both know it's a lie.
We both know you only love yourself.
