Flashes of tragedy
R.-F.C.
So, there was a reason
For the half-kisses
You've put me through
From the tip of your lips
Images, from a distance
Reflecting back to now
The weight on your shoulders
As you carried this
Sure left you restless
All these nights I spent
Trying to figure out
The way around your shell
My betrayed angel
I can see it now
Iris on her own
Holding back the tears
The pillow on her head
Driving deep down
Flashes of tragedy
She closed her eyes
And hoped to disappear
And all these nights I spent
Trying to figure out
The way around your shell
My betrayed angel
Then, I left her all alone
I opened up the wound
She tried so hard to heal
Back there on her own
And now I understand
Why she could never forgive
All these nights I spent
Trying to figure out
The way around your shell
My betrayed angel
From a different point of view
The story now reveals
The portrait of a soul
I wish I had cherished
The truth beneath the mask
Is even more fragile
I will not let you down
And break it up apart
Hold on to your shell
My betrayed angel
