The Killjoy

To know love is to ache
 Hurt yourself and repent
 For in the end all is gone
 Lights go out, your time is spent
 If I were you I would retract and lock my heart
 Concede defeat and admit I was off the mark
 If I were you I would turn away and hide my face
 Swallow my pride and then finish ere it's all disgrace
 ♪
 All of our dreams now laid on the sand
 To wait by the perilous tides
 To be washed away into the depths
 And sink without a trace
 Just a fool's hope remains
 ♪
 To rejoice is to lapse
 Fool yourself and repent
 Mirth will soon turn into woe
 Reveries to contempt
 If I were you I would now bring the curtain down
 Accept my lot and thus fathom out my own bounds
 If I were you I would rue the day when I was born
 Cleanse all in life and redeem myself from scorn
 Scorn
 Remember these words when tide is turning
 The less you hope for, the less you suffer
 If you dare to trust, then you shall shatter
 Lunge from the heights and fall to smithereens
 ♪
 And when you come here
 With charred wings and a defiled heart
 Wait not for compassion
 Or words of consolation
 For only a gleeful smile is greeting you
 ♪
 All of our dreams now laid on the sand
 To wait by the perilous tides
 To be washed away into the depths
 And sink without a trace
 Just a fool's hope remains
