I don’t want to know the answer
Please don’t tell me the truth
I’d rather have something to cling to
Don’t think I’d survive the news
Can’t take the fact that it’s over
There’s nothing left to prove
It’s all better forgotten
There’s nothing I can do
I hold out hope for absolution
I dream of finding a way
To get what I always wanted
To feel that glimmer of faith
I know I’m asking for trouble
When it all falls apart
But right now it seems so simple
To my head and my heart
I’m walking into to fire
That’s burning out of control
I want to hold and protect you
I want to give you my soul
That’s never been what you needed
Time has made that clear
I’ve long since started to question
Just what I’m still doing here
I’ve got nothing to offer
I shouldn’t lie to myself
There’s nothing there to hold onto
I’ve been set up to fail
But there’s something inside me
That just can’t let it all go
It doesn’t care that it’s over
Or that there’s nothing to show
For all the pain and the struggle
There’s no coming relief
All this fighting for something
That doesn’t belong to me
Maybe someday I’ll wake up
And it’ll all wash away
But that’s another tomorrow
I’m still struggling today
So please don’t tell me it’s gone now
Or that you were never there
Let me have my delusions
While I have the strength to still care
