Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.


Just like that piece of heaven you once held
You pour out my secrets
Like Pandora’s Box
All that evil seeping through the cracks.

I see the fire in your eyes
I try taming it with the ice
That makes my heart so cold
I took your fire away
You gave away all my secrets.

I like the mystery that I see in you
That lighthearted laughter
Your glistening irises
But the paleness I see in your eyes,
That shallow heartbeat that no one can hear
I can hear and see it all.

My only secret
And you told it.
You told everyone it.

I’m the only one that understands you.
And I left you, waiting in the shadows
While I took away the fire.
