lyrics

You breathed your life into me,
And you breathed in all your flaws,
You demanded that I tried so hard,
To be loved and adored,
Yet you complained when I consumed you,
So we could achieve our goals,
I can’t help that I outgrew you,
Can’t help that you lost control,

And you wore me like a mask,
And you fit the mask so well,
And you let me feel heaven,
And you dragged me through hell,
And now I’m trapped inside the pages of your pretending,
Asking why I couldn’t have a happy ending,

You told me not to fall in love,
And still you let me fall,
And then you made me walk away,
Do you have no heart at all?
It’s not my fault I cried your tears,
Wrapped my love around your heart,
You chose to help me rise, so,
And you let me fall apart,

And you wore me like a mask,
And you fit the mask so well,
And you let me feel heaven,
And you dragged me through hell,
And now I’m trapped inside the pages of your pretending,
Asking why I couldn’t have a happy ending,

And now you’re standing over me,
As I lay pale on the floor,
Struck me down without a reason,
Don't you tell me you were bored,
I did everything you wanted,
Clawed my way up to the top,
We could have had the things we dreamt of,
Why did you make me stop,

And you wore me like a mask,
And you fit the mask so well,
And you let me feel heaven,
And you dragged me through hell,
And now I’m trapped inside the pages of your pretending,
Asking why I couldn’t have a happy ending,

Hello! I'm Reesha, I sing songs and accompany them on the guitar with dubious proficiency. Some of them are funny, some of them are depressing. It's a magical mood lottery!
