Strangers

i met a stranger
who told me about you
told me all the truths
you never would confess
 and how it changed you
 at least my thoughts of you
 no more sweet fairy princess
 i somehow thought you could be

now the truth is bleeding from your eyes
masquerade, it's time is ending
and you have no truth inside
all i wanted was honest
right from the start you knew this
but you lied and played pretend
one more kiss to seal this nothing
close my eyes while you bring our end


and now the truth comes
now that it's over
now that you've sold the time
you took away from me
 so many questions
 you'll never answer
 so many times i tried
 just to see that hollow smile

now the truth is bleeding from your eyes
masquerade, it's time is ending
and you have no truth inside
all i wanted was honest
right from the start you knew this
but you lied and played pretend
one more kiss to seal this nothing
close my eyes while you bring our end


so now i look back
safe from this distance
i finally realized
this space has always been
 i remember you said
  how much you want me
  how bad you need me
  i should have questioned
  were you saying that to me?

now the truth is bleeding from your eyes
masquerade, it's time is ending
and you have no truth inside
all i wanted was honest
right from the start you knew this
but you lied and played pretend
one more kiss to seal this nothing
close my eyes while you bring our end


i met a stranger
told me of a stranger
goodbye my stranger
goodbye my stranger
goodbye now stranger.
