lyrics

How was I supposed to know
Cause for the longest time it didn't clearly show
But as the image fades away
The one behind the curtain's forced to show their face

Pull me in with Siren songs
Your tales of persecution, how you do no wrong
Dragging me down for yourself
And leading me to think that you were someone else

Step back and know this is all just temporary
But wasn't it fun, a day in the sun, now over and done
Step back and know this is all just temporary
Look what you broke, your chance came you choked, quit holding out hope

You can't help but throw it all away
And as you sit and watch the world it's washing you away
You can self destruct like no one else, you know
I could have tried to help you save yourself

Looking back I guess I knew
There always seemed to be that darker side of you
I could have helped you save yourself
But you took comfort in the thought of someone else

Step back and know this is all just temporary
But wasn't it fun, a day in the sun, now over and done
Step back and know this is all just temporary
Look what you broke, your chance came you choked, quit holding out hope

You can't help but throw it all away
And as you sit and watch the world it's washing you away
You can self destruct like no one else, you know
I could have tried to help you save yourself

Oh well

Mistakes erased
I hope to find that one day I made it up
My own overactive imagination to blame
