Mask

A Poem by Sarahthirk
"

I think this is a very self-explanatory title

"
Verse: 
That one cold August night, you held me safe in your arms 
The only thing that kept me sane was the beat of your heart 
You told me things would never change, you'd always be there 
People lie, and now I see you no longer care 

Pre-Chorus: 
The tears fill the space that you once lived in 
And now it's hard to start breathing 

Chorus: 
Remember what we used to be? 
You're etched into every memory. 
Now I know the truth, what a shame 
Guess you wore a mask all those days 
Remember what we used to hold? 
Our love was unbreakable, or so I was told 
Now I know the truth, what a shame 
Guess you wore a mask all those days 

Verse: 
That one cold September night, I was crying on the floor 
It was 3 AM when I heard you slam that door 
It pierced my heart when you said goodbye, I thought you'd never leave 
Now the windows dirty, and I can't see anything 

Pre-Chorus: 
My love letters to you, you'll never read them 
I ripped them apart, but that didn't bring freedom 

Chorus: 
Remember what we used to be? 
You're etched into every memory. 
Now I know the truth, what a shame 
Guess you wore a mask all those days 
Remember what we used to hold? 
Our love was unbreakable, or so I was told 
Now I know the truth, what a shame 
Guess you wore a mask all those days 

Bridge: 
Well you put on a wonderful show, so now take a bow 
My heart is filled with your snow, you just had to have the crown 
Now all our pictures are in the fire, they'll never see light of day 
I guess we won't either, but I'll always remember your games 

Chorus: 
Remember what we used to be? 
You're etched into every memory. 
Now I know the truth, what a shame 
Guess you wore a mask all those days 
Remember what we used to hold? 
Our love was unbreakable, or so I was told 
Now I know the truth, what a shame 
Guess you wore a mask all those days
