Vanity

Once she was the only one for me

Though she never opened up to me

We lived our lives like a lost child of praise

Sleeping in, sleeping in for days

I met you in the ruins of our home

Once you walked on out all alone

What loyalty, what love or peace did you even leave behind for me

Vanity, vanity, vanity, you make me bleed

Vanity, vanity, vanity, why can't you see

If the distance is what makes us grow

Why would you stay all along?

And one day you'll find that I just won't be there

I'll be with your ghost in the air

Vanity, vanity, vanity, you make me bleed

Vanity, vanity, vanity, why can't you see

I must be losing light to vanity

It's leaving like the heart and soul of me

And when that day comes where you'll have to pay your dues

I'll think of the ways I warned you
