Shhh it's a secret

There's a word I used to know that would dance on the tip of my tongue
There's a feeling I used to have that would make my knees go weak
But now as I see the world for what it truly is
I must admit, my views were so obscured

So what am I doing here, can I fake this any longer?
A hollow smile paired with attraction can hardly be called love
So when the other shoe will drop, as I believe it has
What will you do when you realize I can never love you?

There's a song I used to sing almost every Sunday
There's a chance I used to have before it all went wrong
There's a world outside of what I can barely comprehend
Now I know it was made for a reason

Is this really what you want, I can answer for you now
How foolish does this whole endeavor seem?
Now I know that I let go of this imaginary feeling
Found in stories, fairy tales, and dreams

I've already learned that mine end when I'm not sleeping
No wishing star has ever seemed so far
You're no longer an angel that was sent to keep me from reeling
Yet I can force myself to give you up
