I came upon your world alone The unreal planet that you owned You taught me everything I know You showed me life meant so much more Than I had ever thought before I saw a place where I belonged Now we stand together In the wasteland you have made Twisted and distorted by your hand I thought you and I Our perfect worlds were the same I thought you and I could understand We're building a world from our hearts I never knew of your intent I followed others that you sent Gave me the key to who I am This is what you've made me through your words You aren't what I thought at first This tarnished heart of gold I have Now I see the future Of the world we had made Twisted and distorted by your hand I thought you and I Our perfect worlds were the same I thought you and I could understand Oh, you said forever I'd be Is this how perfection rewards me Now the world I was promised Has gone from my grasp It fades to the past Forever doesn't last Now I'm out on my own You showed me the way The path through the endless skies Now I am the one to find I'll build my kingdom In my own paradise Now, I see the future Of the world we had made Twisted and distorted by your hand I thought you and I Our perfect worlds were the same I thought you and I could understand Oh, you said forever I'd be Is this how perfection rewards me Now the world I was promised Has gone from my grasp It fades to the past Forever doesn't last You said forever I'd be Is this how perfection rewards me Now the world I was promised I've had to let go I'll let them all know Forever doesn't last
