It’s hard to break the cycle
And a vicious one it is
I tried to forget and sometimes I do
But again I find myself back here with you
I flip the switch and the simulation begins
It’s all digits and code, then your face appears
Damn it, I can’t stop. Here I go again
But I know we were in love then
I need this; your smile and laughter.
Tell me i’m great,
I’m beautiful,
and awesome.
It’s so real that I forget once more
about the world where you don’t exist
for me anymore.
We have a date
maybe at a bar or movie
No, let’s stay home
and pretend i’m not alone.
We cuddle and you tell me
those three promising words
And for a few hours
I live
in a perfect world.
Don’t end the program
don’t stop this show
Tomorrow I’ll cry
but for now, I live the lie
This is a secret I’ll never give up
And I’ll keep trying to stay away
But, the past is an addiction
so start the simulation–turn reality into fiction
