Once upon a time, I had a dream
You and me against the world, that's how it seemed
Wishing for greatness, we straddled the line
We're destined for failure, cause we were fire and ice
I put all I had into the dream
Why should you think what we've built so selfishly?
They said I was worthless, and you responded in kind
Let them fill you with poison, treachery and lies

Don't talk to me without pain
You won't believe what I say
And it will only break your heart like it did mine
Don't talk to me without shame
Feel guilty and come to blame
And I will gladly burn my heart to erase all the time
Don't talk to me

Once upon a time, I didn't see
The truth of your lies right in front of me
The stain of your humor, it desecrated the light
Betrayal of innocence and unspoken crime
Pieces of myself left alone to bleed
Is this what the color of pain is supposed to mean?
Humiliation, the secrets lost in time
Should be a cross to bear but once again it's mine

Don't talk to me without pain
You won't believe what I say
And it will only break your heart like it did mine
Don't talk to me without shame
Feel guilty and come to blame
And I will gladly burn my heart to erase all the time
Don't talk to me

They said I was worthless
And you responded in kind
Let them fill you with poison, treachery and lies

Don't talk to me without pain
You won't believe what I say
And it will only break your heart like it did mine
Don't talk to me without shame
Feel guilty and come to blame
And I will gladly burn my heart to erase all the time
Don't talk to me
