parade
Toni Marie Iommi Lyrics

You say I'm what you need, you say you'll never leave,
You claim that I am the one you want and that you will always be here for me.

Then you go and push me away.
But your actions contradict your words as you begin to distance yourself from me.

You're breaking into me, this pain has cut too deep
Your behavior is causing me emotional harm, and it hurts me deeply.

I'm bleeding all the love that you gave.
The love that you gave me is draining from me, leaving me empty.

When there's no one left for you to blame
When you can no longer shift the responsibility for your actions onto others,

And you're standing on your own again
And you find yourself alone once more,

Only loneliness to thank and those bitter memories that stain
You have no one to thank but your own loneliness and the negative memories that continue to haunt you.

Are you really here to stay for good?
Do you truly intend to stay in my life permanently?

Hopeful thoughts will make a fool come true
Believing in false hope can lead to disappointment and foolishness.

Cause a broken heart can't mend if it's frozen in the eyes of pain
If one is unable to let go of the pain of a broken heart, it will never fully heal.

It's the end of this parade.
This signifies the end of our relationship.

I can feel the emptiness burn through
I am experiencing a deep sense of emptiness.

Holding everything I thought was true
I am still holding onto beliefs about our relationship that have proven to be false.

I know my heart won't be the same but in time I know I'll find my way
Although I know my heart has been permanently altered, I believe that I will eventually move on and heal.

It's my soul I cannot leave,
The wounds that have been inflicted on my soul are not easily forgotten.

It's the anger that you give,
Your anger and negative emotions are causing me hurt and pain.

It's killing all the good left in me.
Your actions are draining me of my positivity and good qualities.

You, you came to me
You entered my life,

Like a fire taking over
And took hold of my heart and emotions like an uncontrollable wildfire.

Shining like a flame we're meant to burn
At first, it seemed that we were ideally suited for each other.

My love
I had strong feelings of love for you.

But the air was getting thinner
As time passed, however, it became more and more difficult for me to breathe in this relationship.

And I can't take your heavy weight on me
I am struggling under the emotional burden that you are placing on me.

Oh, it's the end of this parade
This marks the final conclusion of our relationship.
