How Do I Handle This?

"Unexpected"

 my skin is soft and hazy
your spine is weak and lazy
picking petals off of daisies
I'm not the one who's crazy
you ravaged my body
and you swore you were sorry

what do you do
when the pillar that held you
turns out to be made of paper not steel?
how do you handle
when the one who lights your candle
admits the flame was never even real?

*love is not a game that's won
it's a war that's fought
when you fly close to the sun
fragile wings get caught*

I wanted to wake up beside you
from this day forward
I dreamed of growing old with you
it's what makes this so much harder
your name is burned on my heart
but banned from my lips
our souls were joined from the start
but now you've let it slip

what do you do
when the pillar that held you
turns out to be made of paper not steel?
how do you handle
when the one who lights your candle
admits the flame was never even real?

*love is not a game that's won
it's a war that's fought
when you fly close to the sun
fragile wings get caught*

never say never
cause what you say next will be written on my heart forever

*love is not a game that's won
it's a war that's fought
when you fly close to the sun
fragile wings get caught*
