[Intro] The world speaks ill of you But my heart still believes That you can change the tide of the sea With the determination of your heart [Pre-Chorus] I want to make the world see The hero you are But the sweet poison from your lips Paints you in a different light [Chorus] My silly love Is making me act on the defensive You are not what they say But you drench your heart with darkness [Verse] I don't want to believe The way you are acting Is it some kind of tactic? Surely, this can't be the real you It's so hard to tell apart The painful truth From the desperate desires of my pulse Please, let this be bad dreams I don't want to believe you embrace corruption And leave the light behind [Pre-Chorus] I want to make the world see The hero you are But the sweet poison from your lips Paints you in a different light [Chorus] My silly love Is making me act on the defensive You are not what they say But you drench your heart with darkness [Verse] I'm truly sorry that I'm this way I just had this view of you that blinded me If this is the real you Our destinies were never meant to connect Now I understand why heaven kept the distance I was completely devoted to you Yet, you never noticed I was a siren that dreamt with the world above the surface A place I never belonged to My heart is breaking due to the clarity [Pre-Chorus] I want to make the world see The hero you are But the sweet poison from your lips Paints you in a different light [Chorus] My silly love Is making me act on the defensive You are not what they say But you drench your heart with darkness [Verse] Your villainous ways I didn't want to acknowledge I wanted to see you as my lifeline Yet, halos don't belong in the dark You would've betrayed me without a second thought I'm truly disappointed I wanted to hold your hand To kiss you for as long as I live But strawberries are sweet And lemons are full of bitterness [Outro] You were my precious love I wanted to protect you It all fell apart With the cards that you held in your own hands
