You criticize because I have secrets in my soul,

but there’s so much more you haven’t told.

You hide behind your perfect mask,

while all I do is stand here and ask.

Ask what the hell is going on,

but all you tell me is to hold on.

To wait a moment while you make up your mind,

while the perfect answer you try to find.

You tell me what my gullible ears want to hear,

then you wonder why I have so much fear.

Why I hide behind my perfect barrier, create a strong exterior.

You’re a lover with a heart of a traitor.

And I have no time for your disguise,

my only goal was to make you mine.

But you hid your heart behind a perfect storm

and storm navigation was never one of my skills,

I guess our love, you were trying to kill.

It’s time for me to stay still,

because this was not my, but your will.
