The Characters of Reality

We walked alone, together
Through a living hell
We held hands and closed our eyes
And so quickly fell

And when we finally broke
We suddenly fell apart
And the friendship was broken
Just like my shattered heart

I acted like it was fine
I acted so damn strong
But the truth is I don't know
How I made it for that long

I looked away and was blind
I hid my face and cried
And when I left you behind
A part of me died

I didn't say forever
But I didn't tell you when
I wasn't sure we could make it
We'd never love again

And every time the phone rang
I hoped I would hear your voice
But deep inside I knew
We had made our choice

I didn't want to sleep
Because I was afraid to dream
For in the mind, beyond control
Is what life is and what it seems

Pain never faltered,
Compassion we withdrew
And it's only by the grace of God
That I even made it through

We walk together, alone
Through this world of regret
Lest we fall again
May we never forget

To the world it was real
To us it was pretend
But friendship is forever
And love is the end.
