It's been far too long
since i've gazed at your face,
since i've looked into your eyes,
since i've felt your embrace.

How I long for the days back when.
If only time could revert.
How perfect my life was,
before you inflicted the hurt.

The one to whom I gave it all,
the one who took it all from me.
You wanted to see me fall?
Well, I fell so far that I can't be me.

A hopeless romantic,
I used to consider myself.
Now more of an unemotional pessimist.
Why be anything else?

This new me
likes where he stands.
All alone in this world,
he doesn't need anyone's "helping hand".

He knows the hurt that love leads to,
he knows the lies this world holds true.
All the suffering now done.
He's played that game, and he's finally won.
