lyrics

It’s inconsiderate, being on my mind.
I cannot contemplate how you could be so unkind.

Last night you had the cheek to
stow away in my dreams.
To stop my disillusion and my mind from tearing at the seams.

Oh why did I have to wake up?
Fact is so much sadder than fiction.
Wish I could find a good reason
To this asphyxiating fixation.

There’s no such thing as your desire.
But I would like to think
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

You held my hand,
And you gripped like you’d never let it go.
I could not stand, 'cause you showed me
Just what I wanted to know.

Oh why did I have to wake up?
Fact is so much sadder than fiction.
Wish I could find a good reason
To this asphyxiating fixation.
