Illusory Light

I knew exactly,
I knew exactly what this would feel like
I knew this day was coming,
I knew it right from the start

I could see it in your eyes,
but I just didn't care
I knew the days were numbered,
but I fell anyway

I knew exactly,
I knew exactly what you would be to me
A scar on the horizon,
A perfect dim illusory light

And I held it in my hands

to protect it from the wind
But the more I held on,
I knew I'd lose it again

You blew in like a breeze
And rolled out like a storm
I know you didn't think
It'd do any harm

You blew in like a breeze
And rolled out like a storm
I know you didn't think
It'd do any harm

I knew exactly,
I knew exactly what this would feel like
To hear the same voice that said 'hello' say 'goodbye'
