Because, really, who were we to think
That you and I could trick love??
Who were we to think us smarter
Than the gods who rule above??
To think that we could outrun fate
To think we would be missed.
To ignore the warnings of those much wiser
To reach for that first kiss.
To think that we were more than stars
To think of our wisdom like jewels.
Really, who were we, my darling??
You and I were fools.

I never dream when I am asleep.
In fact, I hardly close my eyes.
The curse upon me from my birth
Shows its face, but in disguise.
They say that I am just an artist
Destined to live post being dead.
But deep down I know the truth:
It is just a sickness in my head.

Remember those endless nights
After those cutthroat days
Where your fingers had the power
To set off one hundred nerves
With a single touch, light pinch.
It was more than enough
To make those beads of sweat
Run down the backs of my legs
And my mind to say,
"You and I must be immortals."

Because you said you loved me
And I believed it.
Silly me.
