lyrics

I tried to fill the holes in myself
with pieces of somebody else and
as I fit the puzzle together I found that it didn't help
and I faced my imperfections
in the circus mirror of reality
and discovered my shame
for the weakness inherent in me
I became my shadow and my ego turned and sneered
I wanted to find a cure for the disappearance that I feared
so I packaged you and marketed you
as a perfect man
I wanted some one to complete
this broken heart that I had

I chased our passions course
with the idleness of my mind
had it all planed out
composed each one of your lines
a play inside my mind to comfort me in my fear
in hopes that dreams might salve the wounds I couldn't heal
but kingdoms built on dreams
are sure to topple and to fall
and I couldn't maintain the false security of it all
and as the castle began to crumble
and the curtains to decay
I felt my fears fall around me
and hoped to fade away

Sleeping in my apathy
he found me in his way
an unlikely prince charming
who'd come to save the day
and pull me from the dragons
my cynicism had enslaved
show me that magic still exists in day to day
there was no completion he just handed back my heart
and listened as I told him the story of how it fell apart
