King Midas - Adore

Can't believe it's over now
My feelings I shall hide
For every time I said I love you
A part of me has died

I have lost my voice; I'm nothing
A shell of what I used to be
I watch each passing day drift by
And I'm haunted by your memory

I walk in front of your house and realize
I'll never reach the pedestal you've set
I'm alone; our legacy is tarnished
I'm left with nothing but regret

And now I just can't tell
Which road to take from here
As father time ticks our seconds away
Your precious face disappears

You are shallow; you are low
And you just won't let me show
What the truest of loves is
I've prayed and I've dreamed
I've yelled and I've screamed
All to just lose you again and again

I don't understand why it's always my fault
But I guess it could never be yours
I am ugly and you are beautiful
I just hope you know you are adored
