Behind The Facade

Message:
I think we're like fire and water.

I've been reminiscing in the mistakes I've made
I saw you walking in the room eyes grey, they fade into clouds on a page
I've been told there's more to everything and so I mistook you for better
At least that's what they say, see, I think there's more to you, more to you than ever, than I ever would think, babe

It took a while
It took some time
Looking through the walls
I have found your smile
It took most days
To understand a different way
Under your pity parade
Closer, behind your facade in front of me

I've been reminiscing in the mistakes I've made
I saw you talking to that girl, hey, what was that all about, whispers much too late
I've been told there's more to everything and so I mistook you for better for worse
At least that's what they say, see, I think there's more to you, more to you than ever, more than there should, 'cause it pains

It took a while
It took some time
Looking through the walls
I have found your smile
It took most days
To understand a different way
Under your pity parade
Closer, behind your facade in front me

And so I'm left behind it
Lonely river come beside me
You have up and left, gone running, running, running away
And so everything is hurting
The pain is worse than anticipated
I'm stuck in this whole other place, hoping, pacing
Holding on to a particular face
'Cause it pains

Why am I stuck clinging to a fictitious boy with the eyes of a lover who looks at me like I'm a toy? It doesn't work
Why am I stuck thinking about this strange being, thinking life would be just better 'cause I know there's more to you than that perfectly painted smirk?

It took a while
It took some time
Looking through the walls
I have found your smile
It took most days
To understand a different way
Under your pity parade
Closer, behind your facade in front of me

It took a while
It took some time
From the other side of the door
I stumbled 'cross your smile
It took most days
To understand, baby
Under your pity charade
Between your silly game
Over your addicting arcade
Closer, behind your facade in front of me
