Ive been through this before, with another guy i thought i 'knew'
These days, i wont be too emotionally invested in someone ive never seen.
I may go kinda have a liking towards you
But deep down i know
Deep down i can feel it
Even with the slightest chance of it being real? I wont believe it
My heart is my treasure that ive held to lightly
Its scarred, its wounded and so i wont give it up that easily.
It yearns love and yearns to be loved
So ive learned to separate myself from it
Ill allow it to love and allow it to desire
But ill keep it grounded for its own sake

For now ill say its not real
For now i wont believe it
But that wont stop me from
Enjoying this illusion
It helps keep my heart at ease
It makes me feel less lonely
But still i know what may lie behind
That pretty pretty illusion
So heres the deal, my dear dear heart
Enjoy your illusion while it lasts
But dont get too caught up in it because illusions will end
And reality will return
Then you can always have a place with me
Behind my cold cold walls
I will keep you safe
In the middle of a maze, i will not allow you to loose yourself

The lover inside me is still strong and hopeful
But please dont despise me for trying to keep you safe
We've been down that path so many times
Its time to wake up
And enjoy the ride
Without ever thinking of the journey.
