don't mind when i tell you i love you.
i'm not sincere in my claims.
i don't mean to lead you on,
but myself in attempt to hide pain.

i'm stumbling along the floor,
red face sobbing through the open door.
your footsteps fade down the hall.
i give up chase and share my tears with the wall.

my heart has fallen again.
this amorous battle i'll never win.
i'm silent and mangled,
my chest burns from within.
