You Know Better

Heavy hearts and broken dreams
slipping through the torn seams
falling tears and shattered hopes
hanging on by strings and ropes
you know better letting yourself think that things would work setting the bar so far above your headyou know that you will never graspwhat you want most dangling just out of your reachstruggle you fool, stretch out far
but you know even before you try
you will never obtain and you will only cry
why do you seem so surprised
happiness only the devil disguised
you know bettergetting your hopes up only to get crushedthis is what you deservepretend you can handle it but you know the truthbecause life only hands you so muchuntil it rips it all away
Close your eyes and wait to die
you know there is only one reply
for all the times that you hoped for things
and placed your dreams on broken wings
you know better
