Love is a beautiful dream, they say,
And I want to live in it too.
To see through it,
To know how much more I could lose.
Will it bring peace?
Will you be at ease?
The answer is "no".
But you're always free,
To walk beside her,
To laugh with her,
To see her smile in a floral dress,
To feel your heart pound in your chest.
But what more does a man want from her?
To hold her?
To kiss her?
Or does his hunger go darker?
To hurt, to break, to make her suffer?
Yeah, that’s what some men think,
When they see her—
Not as a person, but a thing.
"Lies you say," she barked, so rude,
Oh beauty wrapped in careless youth,
You talk of love, but not the truth.
How the world betrays your man,
Behind your back.
He hides his wounds in silence,
Dressed forever in black.
You think the seats for men
Are always saved and served.
Oh beauty, you unknown,
You don’t know how desperate he is
To earn the success you’ve deserved.
