[Verse] Not now!! she said with a glance so cold Her words like echoes in a cavern old I chased her shadow through a moonlit haze Blind to the truth in her fleeting gaze [Verse 2] All the time I thought her heart was mine But love’s a riddle and I missed the sign She danced in circles while I stood still A puppet tangled in her ruthless will [Chorus] I realized too late her love was a lie I realized too late her love was a lie A fleeting storm beneath a painted sky Her laughter sharp like a jagged knife She never loved me just played with my life [Bridge] Her smile was a mask her touch a game A fire that burned but never gave flame I held on tight to a fading spark While she left me stranded in the dark [Verse 3] Not now! she said with a voice so clear Her words still haunt me after all these years I built a dream but it crumbled fast A castle of sand that could never last [Chorus] I realized too late her love was a ghost A mirage in the desert I chased the most Not now! she said with a voice so clear Her words still haunt me after all these years I built a dream but it crumbled fast A castle of sand that could never last [Chorus] I realized too late her love was a ghost A mirage in the desert I chased the Her smile was a mask her touch a game A fire that burned but never gave flame I held on tight to a fading spark While she left me stranded in the dark [Verse 3] Not now! she said with a voice so clear Her words still haunt me after all these years I built a dream but it crumbled fast A castle of sand that could never [Verse 5] She was cold like a fish in the frozen tide No heart to give just a hollow inside Her words were poison wrapped up in silk Draining my soul like spoiled milk [Bridge] I was just a pawn in her wicked game Falling for the lies that burned like flame Now I see the truth behind her disguise A fish in the cold with empty eyes [Verse 6] Her eyes told stories her lips wouldn't share I was a shadow she forgot was there A fleeting thought she let slip away I held on tight but she'd never stay [Bridge] Every not now!! was a quiet goodbye A whisper of truth hidden in a lie I built my world on her fleeting sound But the walls came down when she [Verse 7] When all is said and thought and done And all the joyful color splatters gone The butterflies land on shattered glass Pupate to caterpillars again They hear funeral music of brass The fountain of honey will finally drain [Chorus] I realized too late her love was a cloud a darkened paint to tint all the clear She never wanted my heartbeat to share Her silence was louder than I could bear [Instrumental Outro]
