false hope

it's begining to seem like the people on the street
know me better than those that i've known since first beat
your eyes are sad like heart break moons
but your smile is wide like happy loons
i don't know what to believe these days
living like this certainly never pays
open up your book of secrets and write inside
of all the times you closed your eyes and lied
told her that she was bright like morphine
kissed her right before you got mean
left her on her own below the sea line
she will always smile and say she's just fine
but you know better, better than she knows
look at the way you see the river flows
the angel knows your deepest secret
you need to find someone to be your outlet
i'm going to leave you here like you left me
how could you dare to leave me be
remember when i said to you
that i loved you and could you love me too?
she'll always leave the backdoor open
false hope for the way it was back then
if only you knew what hope could do
