Solitude finds my deepest thoughts,
Growing like thorny vines as they age,
In my longest dreams I never knew,
The hope that arrived the day you came.

I have been an empty shell of what was,
A cut out of a shallow version of me,
But I never smiled more than the day,
You hung on my every word.

And yes, I lied, pretending I didn't care,
I thought it would be an easy thing to fake,
I've lied about bigger badder things,
How hard could it be to deny love.

The agony I feel about all those little things,
I've buried it till my heart will burst,
It's easy to hide things when you're empty,
It's hard to lie when your heart is full.

Everyone can smile and I'll play along,
Dancing around the truth like the child I am,
But deep down in my overflowing heart,
I know it would be better if you found someone else.
