Disagree and I'll get you banned from my thread.

I think everyone agrees with that.
You paint me your blue sky
And go back and turn it to rain
When I lived in your chess game
But you changed the rules everyday
Well, maybe it’s me and my blind optmism to blame
Or maybe it’s you and your sick need to give love then take it away
And you’ll add my name to your long list of traitors
Who don’t understand
And I’ll look back in regret, how I ignored when they said
“Run as fast as you can”
You are an expert at sorry and keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you’ve run dry
Have tired, lifeless eyes ’cause you burned them out
But I took your matches before fire could catch me,
So don’t look now
I’m shining like fireworks over your sad empty town
There I was again tonight forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place
Walls of insincerity
Shifting eyes and vacancy vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you
Your eyes whispered “have we met?”
Across the room your silhouette starts to make it’s way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy
And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you
Will you take a moment, promise me this
That you’ll stand by me forever
But if God forbid fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children someday
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine
This gets me every time.
