The Mason

I held on so long to what I wanted you to become
I see that you are not what I dreamed you to be,
but that's not your fault
See, long ago I made up my mind
She would be the love of my life
Now I see Ignorance is bliss
I fell in love with an idea in my head,
but that's not who she is
See I, I'll take a thought,
and I'll let it grow till underneath it's weight I am caught
When all I saw was a glimpse of who you might be
and I laid down these bricks
Building walls so lovely and strong
There's no way, no chance I am wrong
Our castle stands, I know just where she'll fit
She'll be with me here in my arms, I'm crazy in love
with who I think she is
When I finally get to see you
I latch onto the hope I see in you
And I won't let go, I'll say
"Look there's a chance what I hoped for might actually be so!"
But I cannot justify this
small suspicion that slowly is creeping in
but our castle walls are shaking
I fight the fact maybe I was mistaken
And I hate when I knew nothing was real
in all that I had believed to be true
And the walls came crumbling down,
and all I could think is 'where is all of that wasted time now?'
See, long ago I made up my mind
She would be the love of my life
Now I see I never really knew her one bit
I fell in love with an idea in my head,
but that's not who she is
That's not who she is
That's not who she is
