and so it turns you on
and red shines in the dark
but when it's done it's never gone
and your still laying fully stark

did you know that before
and you went ahead anyway
is it for the face you adored
that you led yourself astray

Why can't you leave it be
it's a love you will never have
pride used as emotional debris
and your heart is cut in half

Cast your bitter pall on hope
as you blacken out the day
Blind and broken, still you grope
in time the black turns gray.

but still the red shines in the dark
memories still turn you on
the truth laid out fully stark
and now he's forever gone
