Realist

Born a hopeless romantic
I danced in my fantasies with you 

I fell in love with the Earth 
She caught every tear I cried over you 
Burned by the love I thought would heal me 

Sometimes, she's a cruel mistress 
But in the emptiness of your absence 
It was her dark embrace which held me 

I gave myself to the truth 
Never turned back once the deed was done 
You used forced to open my heart 
Now you see, I'm not made of glass 

A Phoenix, a rebirth 
A bursting forth from the cacoon 
Your lack of love changed me 

Once upon a time, you said,
Wasn't real 
But it's what I deserve 
How can you know what I deserve? 

My soul has already used up 
All the love I had on you 
I'm glad to be free 
Of the burden of a life changing romance 

I don't need the storybook romance 
I was born a romantic 
These days, I'm in love with my own journey 

I'm glad I was cured of you 
Your eyes were nothing but a visage of truth 
I moved on long before you realized I did. 
It's ok that it doesn't always work out. 

You can't take me away from me, anymore.
