[VERSE 1]
I am the Phantom of the Opera/
Marching/
Walking on a street of black coffins/
My heart has found a new home/
And I'd like to tell a story/
About the Wolf and Red Ridding Hood/
The maiden of a similar flame/
How we would dance together/
This is tragedy for those of you in question/
I said I was a Mason/
And we spoke about her grandfather/
The simple things/
See I remember everything/
Like the first time when we kissed/
While she was going through a breakup/
It came with an apology/
I said that I was sorry/
Cause I'm a different kind of man/
See I was raised without a man/
A silly rascal/
And who was I to think/
That I could win her/
When my mother never brought/
Another man into the picture/
That's irony/
The only love I know is unconditional/
And it seems/
The only love she knows is in a bottle/
Manufactured happiness/
Sniffing lines of pain/
Injected with the venom/
Standing in the rain as she sang/
[Chorus]
You could smile Love...
- I'd rather watch you
And you could drop your guard...
- But I'm afraid too
And you can cry love...
- It's been a long time
And you can trust me...
- Yea, that's what you told me. (2x)
[Verse 2]
And it's funny when I think about it/
Cause we were laying in your bed/
When I asked you to be my girlfriend/
First/
You told me "No that's not an option"/
That you were tired of relationships/
Tired of the problems/
And I said "coo."/
You were the homie and so I f** with you/
We didn't have a title/
But we both remained faithful/
You were talking to some dudes on the side/
Just in case/
You found attraction in another place/
I gave you that freedom/
Then you took off on a camping trip/
With some other dude/
That was the first time/
That I ever felt jealous with you/
You see I never spoke about it/
Because we didn't have a title/
But it made it very doubtful/
To trust you with my heart/
As she sang/
[Chorus]
[VERSE 3]
I remember seeing tears on your face/
You told me that/
While you were gone/
You realized how much you loved me/
When we had s** the first time/
It turned into a bunch of times/
The night the condom broke/
And we were scared out our minds/
I wasn't trying to have a kid/
But you thought that I was/
I still remember all the laughter/
After we had that conversation/
And later on I met you mom/
And after that we skyped/
You kept the camera on/
I watched you sleep in the night/
See we were good/
And we were cruising for the next six months/
I didn't have a nine to five/
And so I couldn't do much/
And then I missed your graduation/
Trying to chase the paper/
We had some ugly arguments/
But none of that really phased us/
I left you hanging out on New Years/
But I wanted just the two of us/
Like f** those other people/
They weren't doing sh** for progress/
The doubts started to kick in/
And two months later/
I was replaced by another man/
I should have known better/
