you said we'll be the flare,
and I became overjoyed,
the happiness within me so bare;
i never realized that i was being toyed

day by day I desperately held on
to the little hope those words gave
even when I felt ready to run,
i hadn't known that little by little; it dug my grave

and then all of a sudden, I knew so much it was a burden
how everything was a lie,
how I was blinded by the lights

and the hope I held onto left,
and I didn't know what to do next

.
you said we'll be the flare,
but you've never even cared
