Maybe I'm living in denial,
Maybe this could last.
No, I know this is it,
Perfection can never last
Something slides out of place,
As the pain creeps up;
This time something cracks, I fall.
This time you can't catch me
If I look at you one last time,
Touch your face, count the freckles,
My resolve will falter,
The messiness, heartache, will be harder
I turn away, no goodbye,
Ingrained in my memory, these endless images;
A lifetime built, love, happiness, all the foundations
Collapses around me, tries to pull me down
But I wont break down, dissolve into tears,
I've never cried in front of you, I won't start now
