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
