lyrics
What do you think you need from me,
I don't know what you expect,
I'm not here to be taken advantage of,
I'm not here to be taken apart.,
I wasn't alive from the start,
I was never really,
I don't want to believe.
This is my destiny,
I don't want to believe,
That this the way it's meant to be.
I learned from you,
That things are never
True,
When you want them to be,
We were once so perfect a reflection of a memory
We were once so pure a perfect destiny never to be
I don't want to believe.
This is my destiny,
I don't want to believe,
That this the way it's meant to be.
Things were never so beautiful,
I thought we were forever,
I learned to love you,
In ways I could never dream of,
Things were never the same,
After you fell left,
My shadow turned to ash,
I knew things could never be.
My heart turned to dust.
I don't want to believe.
This is my destiny,
I don't want to believe,
That this the way it's meant to be.
Things were so beautiful,
But then they all began to fade away,
I never wanted to live,
Without your warming touch.
I don't want to believe.
This is my destiny,
I don't want to believe,
That this the way it's meant to be,
I don't want to believe.
This is my destiny,
I don't want to believe,
That this the way it's meant to be.
