Masquerade

Thought I knew you at first sight Pictures painted in my mind You were perfect in my dreams But reality tore me by the seams God I know ya secrets ain't so sweet Bitter truths rotten roots deep beneath Fairytale cracks fade to black Lost in the shadow ain't goin' back Fell for an idea not the soul Painted pictures shattered whole Fell for the vision but reality stings Thought it was forever but it's broken strings Heartstrings pulling but the race is run The idea of you was much more fun Blind to the truth and deaf to the sound My heart crashin' to the cold hard ground Told myself you were more than I could handle Traded truth for myths A flickerin' candle Now I see through this haze The bitter truth sharp Your smile just a mask A deceivin' work of art Fell for an idea not the soul Painted pictures shattered whole Fell for the vision but reality stings Thought it was forever but it's broken strings Built castles in the sand Washed away by the sea Gettin' to know you Just showed how blind I can be Built castles in the sand Don't see why you can't understand You see I only had one thought your first glance it had me caught Gettin' to know you Showed me I had no chance Guess things don't go as planned
