Lyrics
Everyone adores the smile on your face that quickly turns into a sneer
When their backs are turned and you laugh aloud knowing that they can't hear
I hope I'm not one of those who falls into the abyss
Although we appear distant within a crowd we're still closest when we kiss
Selfishness has taken control of both of our hearts
The words we exchange pierce the flesh like poison tipped darts
You think that all you say carries such weight, you think it's so intense
It's time to realize that it's all a pretense
After this night I know in my heart we'll have to stop the game
Sleeping in separate beds you hardly ever speak my name
After this night I'm afraid to say that I'll be afraid and alone
Although we haven't spoken much except for the endless drone
After this night we'll hang our heads or maybe hang ourselves
It's better to be with someone you despise than live alone in hell
As we walk hand in hand tightly clenching our fists
Trying to keep up the mystery that for so long has been missed
The worthless thing we once called love has died a slow, painful death
And I hear the quick obcenities that you whisper under your breath
Unfortunately we have one final affair to attend
As the happy loving couple we're expected to pretend
But a few too many drinks bring out the heart wrenching tale
My blood spilled on the carpet as your arms furiously flex and flail
After this night I know in my heart we'll have to stop the game
Sleeping in separate beds you hardly speak my name
After this night I'm afraid to say that I'll be afraid and alone
Although we haven't spoken much except for the endless drone
After this night we'll hang our heads or maybe hang ourselves
It's better to be with someone you despise than live alone in hell
