All the King's Men

The words you held onto are the words that meant nothing
And this nothing that we have now is the only thing I'm holding out
The confidence you gave me wasn't confidence I shared
Now we're staring at the pieces and pretending we don't care

All I ever fell for in front of me
It's dancing through the air
If I reach out I can touch it now
I tried in vain just to patch up the places where
I believed you cared

The moments we shared I'll remember forever
The words you never said they were always on the tip of your tongue
I believed I could change for the better
But I'm standing here again as you walk away
Oh, what have I done?
Check the map, every path I should have chosen
Barefoot I passed over thorns
Oh, now where are my shoes?
Take it back. I believed what you told me
I just didn't know if believing was part of your ruse
I always chose you

You told me it felt like you used to
But you couldn't count on me knowing what I'd done
I told you that I'd always love you
Even though we'll move on
You can always believe
You're the "girl of my dreams" for someone
