I've been walked upon

Tell me I'm wrong

Since you were my biggest mistake

Thanks to you

I trace all the lies on your face

of the darkest of colors

are all that remain

Take your fall

and watch me risk it all

It's always what you claim to say

It's not about all the sorrows you make

Just knowing that I'll fade away
