Alan Apuli - Rose Lenses Lyrics

I thought that I was stronger than this
We laughed, we'd cried, you were the one
That I'd hate to miss
You were the girl in my limelight
I was the boy who thought he'd find
Someone I waited for all my life
Now I'm stuck debating, was this right?
But I've got my mind made up
Cards on the table
You say that distance's a fable
You're holding onto this fiction
While I wore rose lenses
Your flags became vacant
And what felt like a lifetime
I can't say that I hated
But we grew apart
Now it's like you're someone I don't know
With your idea so strong
How do I let go?
This circumstance has never been the best to me
It became habit running to you, tied to a tree
And every moment I woke
I couldn't tell between your smoke and mirrors
It was all just for show
We played our parts and now it's left me bitter
But I've got my mind made up
Cards on the table
You say that distance's a fable
You're holding onto this fiction
While I wore rose lenses
Your flags became vacant
And what felt like a lifetime
I can't say that I hated
But we grew apart
Now it's like you're someone I don't know
With your idea so strong
I found the taste of you
Bittersweet than I recall
And if I went through this again
I don't know who would break my fall
And I'm falling
And I'm falling
But I've got my mind made up
Cards on the table
You say that distance's a fable
You're holding onto this fiction
While I wore rose lenses
Your flags became vacant
And what felt like a lifetime
I can't say that I hated
But we grew apart
Now it's like you're someone I don't know
With your idea so strong
How do I let go?

I thought that I was stronger than this
We laughed, we'd cried, you were the one
That I'd hate to miss
You were the girl in my limelight
I was the boy who thought he'd find
Someone I waited for all my life
Now I'm stuck debating, was this right?
But I've got my mind made up
Cards on the table
You say that distance's a fable
You're holding onto this fiction
While I wore rose lenses
Your flags became vacant
And what felt like a lifetime
I can't say that I hated
But we grew apart
Now it's like you're someone I don't know
With your idea so strong
How do I let go?
This circumstance has never been the best to me
It became habit running to you, tied to a tree
And every moment I woke
I couldn't tell between your smoke and mirrors
It was all just for show
We played our parts and now it's left me bitter
But I've got my mind made up
Cards on the table
You say that distance's a fable
You're holding onto this fiction
While I wore rose lenses
Your flags became vacant
And what felt like a lifetime
I can't say that I hated
But we grew apart
Now it's like you're someone I don't know
With your idea so strong
I found the taste of you
Bittersweet than I recall
And if I went through this again
I don't know who would break my fall
And I'm falling
And I'm falling
But I've got my mind made up
Cards on the table
You say that distance's a fable
You're holding onto this fiction
While I wore rose lenses
Your flags became vacant
And what felt like a lifetime
I can't say that I hated
But we grew apart
Now it's like you're someone I don't know
With your idea so strong
How do I let go?
