Stolen Perfection

Dancing in a ballroom filled with emptiness
I’m clinging onto nothingness
Waving my arms around in madness
What else can I do?

Replaying those sweet memories
Ones filled with calmness and serenity
I’ll have to let go eventually
What else can I do?

When the world gives you perfection, wrapped up in all that’s good and right
When the world gives you perfection and then crushes it before your eyes

Deluding my sub-conscious with lies
To avoid this emotional and timely demise
I was never good at goodbyes.
But this is all I can do.

You were everything and hope
When I was walking on a tightrope
When I was struggling to cope
Now what can I do?

When the world gives you perfection, a flawless wonder of sunshine so bright.
When the world gives you perfection and then crushes it before your eyes.

I’ve fallen to my knees at last
Time to accept my pain filled past
All the shadows that it has cast
There’s nothing I can do.

Moving forward into the light
Resisting the urge to fight
Making it through the day and night
It’s all I can do.

When the world gives you perfection,
A flawless wonder of sunshine so bright, Wrapped up in all that’s good and right
When the world gives you perfection and then crushes it before your eyes
There’s nothing you can do. What else can you do?
