Broken Reverie - Homebound

You tore me apart and ripped at every seam

Have a taste of your own medicine then tell me how you’ve been

A bitter pill to swallow, It builds up to break you down

Till your misery is crippling and drags you to the ground

It was exciting and new, completely out of the blue

Not long before I was a stranger to you

I’ll let you in my head so you can recite

What I never said when I had to bite

The tip of my tongue, take a deep breath

Had to grit my teeth till my mouth bled

I had to tread ever so light around the corners of your mind

I’m another example of what you couldn’t handle

The impression I convinced myself I had of you and I

As clear as day, as right as rain

But I was caught in my illusion

I’m riddled with delusion

So deceitful on my eyes

A mirage playing with my mind

Everything I said, everything I did

Nothing seemed to work, nothing did the trick

‘cause you got everything that you needed

Now your left feeling guilty

But I’m getting used to this lack of honesty

Brings a flush of red only I can see

You left me stranded and neglected with nothing more than I expected

I should be getting used to this by now

Still hurts to admit but I’ll get over it somehow

I should be getting used to this by now

Still hurts to admit but I’m not over it right now
