Tragedy

(album: PROXY: An A.N.I.M.O. Story - 2019)

It's never going to be the same
It's too late for me
Wish I had seen the light
If you'd have been in my place
You would have seen the fear in me
You would have seen my pride

I'm always running out of ways to explain
But I'm hoping every word will resonate
I wanted you to show me truth
Got sick and tired of your constant disdain
Seeing every scar attached to your name
Too late for me, wish I had thrown the fight

Who was I to think that you'd change?
Cold blood of the darkest shade
You were born with a steady flame
We burn away
Oh no, it's not what you thought
Had money but couldn't buy guts
True love risks it all, it's tragedy

Wanted a love so bright and bold
But I got in too close
Burned by desire
Wish I'd have done what I was told
There wouldn't be this void in me
You made me a liar

I should have seen that your heart was dead and cold
I can't believe that I thought we would grow old
I wanted you and only you
Hope with your new one you're learning some self-control
Wish I could tell them to just leave you alone
It's too late for me, I should have seen the signs

Who was I to think that you'd change?
Cold blood of the darkest shade
You were born with a steady flame
We burn away
Oh no, it's not what you thought
Had money but couldn't buy guts
True love risks it all, it's tragedy

Who was I to think that you'd change?
Cold blood of the darkest shade
You were born with a steady flame
We burn away
Oh no, it's not what you thought
Had money but couldn't buy guts
True love risks it all, it's tragedy
