One page ripped

Another torn and thrown

All those lost letters

Just to make my love known

Your questioning gaze

And the shrug that follows

We’ve fallen into a habit

Now I know why I feel so hollow

Though I still don’t know why

I didn’t see it at first

I guess love can be blind

I’ll survive this, I’ve seen worse

Abandoning my own feelings

Just to act calm and lie

About every principled I’ve known

About every gaze and cry

I’m still lying

Wearing my fake face

The face of a girl

Who can set her own grace
