[Verse 1]
We had great potential
You were my essential
My one sanctuary
No need to be wary
But I really should have been
Dreaming away reality
Too blind, short-sighted and carefree
To the signs I should have seen
[Chorus 1]
We're just overwrought
It's not worth the dance
When you leave me all distraught
I was stuck in a trance
Where I mistakenly thought
We all deserve a chance
Forget second times
Where's my first?
You're not guilty of your crimes
Until your conscience is submersed
Head first into being cursed
And even then, it's not enough
And even then, it's not enough
[Verse 2]
You turned my world iridescent
Every day was effervescent
Turn away from us and me
Give up what we could be
Severed, shattered and shaken
Always wanting to be strong
I still wonder what went wrong
All alone and forsaken
[Chorus 1]
[Bridge]
You abolished my wonderland
Demolished my every dreamland
Sent them sinking into quicksand
With each one of your reprimands
Any problems you can't withstand
Every solution you backhand
[Chorus 2]
We're just overwrought
It's not worth the dance
When you leave me all distraught
I was stuck in a trance
Where I mistakenly thought
We all deserve a chance
All that we've achieved
You're just leaving bereft
I may be aggrieved
But I refuse to believe
That's all we have left
One day something will be enough
I'll find someone who's my enough
No matter what the circumstance
We all deserve a chance
