Doesn't anyone see the pain inside?
X
And he doesn't deserve her love like he does
But she keeps coming and he knows she doesn't love him like she loves him

Everything's crumbling

X
He was a dreamer before she came and made him fall
And it's too late for her
To come around
He was wrong
To really think she cared about someone like him
He never stood a chance
With those emerald eyes

His mistake, he didn't want to fall in love
And he shouldn't have because he was his best friend
And he loved her
He knows he didn't deserve her, but he couldn't help but fall
He had so many dreams, happy endings, about him, her, them
An everything fell apart
And now he's here and she's there, with him
And the tears he feels in his eyes, they're y
Or that's what he says
And he never got his happy ending
Even when they did
But that doesn't matter does it?
X
H u r t
The pain is too much
X
And really, why didn't he stop it before it became this?
Tell her it was too late for her to come around?
She was only using him (foolishfoolishboy)
But he went and got lost in those eyes
He never really had a chance anyway
And no one would blame him for wanting a happy ending
Because with that red hair and emerald eyes
She was everything
But he never had an opening
Because he was there too
And he was everything he wasn't

s
It' to drownhim
X
And he remembers just hours before
She was begging him to fight for her
Just like he always wanted to but he's sorry
Didn't she see that he wouldn't…for him, for her?
X
Pain
How much can he t a k e?
X
He promises himself that he'll find sometone that would treat him better
then she ever did
Someone who wasn't in love with one of his best friends
Someone who wouldn't make him pick
Because he's one of his best friends
And he wouldn't do that to him
He's barely holding it tpgether (his mask is so firmly in place)
They're married
And he's forgetting the woman
The witch
The loveofhislife
Who was his entire world
