Vanity

How do you laugh in the face of the hurt you cause? Where do you find peace through all the lost you've lost? How does your image bear the fakeness of a smile? How do you live when you're so dead inside? It could be me, I could be, the one to expose you. But, that would be hypocrisy. Cuz you know my secrets too. When Love finds you, I hope that She gets even. I pray justice is dealt and sincerely felt. Let the souls trampled in your wake finally cry out. I hope vengeance is spoken when your heart is finally broken. Oh baby, can't you see? There's a consequence for vanity. Cursed if we look back, like a pillar of salt. The past is in the past, right where it belongs. If only you'd turn back and see, I'm right where you left me Chasing all your faces as endless as the sea. It could be me, I could be, the one who breaks your disguise. But, that would be futility. You believe your own lies. When Love finds you, I hope that She gets even. I pray justice is dealt and sincerely felt. Let the souls trampled in your wake finally cry out. I hope vengeance is spoken when your heart is finally broken. Oh baby, can't you see? There's a consequence for vanity. It could be me, I could be, the one who does the rescuing. But, that would be insanity. Who would rescue me? When Love finds you, I hope she brings me with Her To hear you testify, to finally know the reason why. To hear admission of your guilt, once you know just how it feels. Blame it on your pride that your greatest romance died. Oh baby, can't you see? There's a consequence for vanity.
