Pt. 1: Perception

lyrics

We'll see what's inside
When all the glitter and shine
Of Hollywood gets washed away
And a friend who never lied
Will sell your secrets to buy
The affection of strangers and a moment of fame

I never felt as close to you -
As when
Everyone else had let me down.
'cause I thought you'd never do
The things to leave me feeling used
Well I'm feeling abandoned now.

I think that it's time
That I
Disappear
'cause I can't keep trying
Always to remind you
That I'm here

So maybe it's dishonest
To pretend I'm moving on with
My life, and I don't need you or anyone
So I'm taking the fifth
When I'm asked if I miss
A time when to be happy, to you I would run.


Well it's time
To accept what is mine
And stop basing my happiness on you
Or I may find
You will never change your mind
And I will always be singing the blues

Well if you really need me
Come find me dear
But I can't keep trying
Always to remind you
That I'm here


'cause these story books I've read
All have led
Me to feel
That there are happy endings
But they're really always just pending
Appeals

Well falling in love isn't always followed by happy ever after
Sometimes you just fell
And story book pages
Fade outs in romance movies
End sooner than their stories would tell
And these movies I've watched
Have taught me to want
And to feel
That there are happy endings
But they're really always pending
Appeals


So fade out then cut to
Our hero has disappeared
And if his love doesn't try to find him
It will on reveal
what I fear.
