Slow Down

[theseashes_burn]

promises are nothing
but spoken lies
eye glaces reminding
that one more thing in life is
broken

i love yous are nothing
but a reason
to believe someone is telling
the truth, a reason to trust
even when you're not so sure

so what does this become
when no one is standing around
waiting for it to turn into a fairytale
so what do we become
when we've given up on each other
and turned our backs without a goodbye?

what does this become?
what have we become?

feelings are nothing
but twists and turns inside our stomach
that tell our minds one thing
and our hearts another
undecided

actions only speak louder
than words, when words have no meaning
and when I told you i'd bring you the moon
if you'd like it
i wasn't lying

so what does this become
when no one is standing around
waiting for it to turn into a fairytale
so what do we become
when we've given up on each other
and turned our backs without a goodbye?

what does this become?
what have we become?
