Madeline, Madeline, as innocent as it sounds

it isn't how i made it out to be

see there's times when we're lead astray

and we cannot remember the way we came

Madeline, Madeline, as horrible as this may be

do not feel afraid for me

cuz i don't have the strength to pretend i don't care

and i cannot extend the love to repair what i've done to you


Chorus : rest be assured i have learned to recognize when it's my turn

your love is enough to provide a reason for me to survive


Madeline, Madeline, as long as it has seemed

you come to me in every dream

and i break down like a little boy

and i have to remind myself that life is just a decoy

that time is just a decoy

that i am just a decoy


chorus
