Tossing Copper - The Mason lyrics

I've held on so long, to what I wanted you to become I see that you are not what I dreamed you to be that's not your fault See long ago I made up my mind She would be the love of my life Now I see ignorance is bliss I fell in love with an idea in my head, but that's not who she is See I, I'll take a thought and I'll let it grow 'til underneath its weight I am caught When all I saw was a glimpse Of who you might be, and I lay down these bricks Building walls so lovely and strong There's no way no chance I am wrong Our castle stands and I know just where she'll fit She'll be with me here in my arms and I'm crazy in love With who I think she is And when I finally get to see you And I latch onto the hope I see in you Now I let go, I see that theres a chance What I hoped for might actually be so But I cannot justify this Small suspicion that is slowly creeping in That the castle walls are shaken I fight the fact maybe I was mistaken And I hate what I knew That nothing was real in all that I had believed to be true And the walls came crumbling down And all I could think is where is all of that wasted time now See long ago I made up my mind She would be the love of my life Now I see I never really knew her one bit See I fell in love with an idea in my head But thats not who she is, thats just not who she is But thats not who she is
