Lyrics for Lonely Asylum by Kristine Sa

For better or worse, I am here now.

With a handful of words I’m not allowed

To utter for reasons I don’t understand

So I swallow them down as best I can

Even though I’ve figured it all out

You’re not in love with me, you’re in love with Kristine

And I know exactly what she’s done to you

But when you fall for her, you end up with me

And I hate to be the one to give you the news…

She’s not real, she never was–

even if you wait she’ll never be

She’s not real, all you get is me

She’s not real, she never was–

All you’re seeing is your fantasy

She’s not real, all you get is me

And my love. Is that enough?

I can still taste every bit of hurt

You left me here for better or worse

With a handful of questions I don’t comprehend

Without trace of an answer once again

And I’m sad to say– you’re not the first.

You’re not in love with me you’re in love with Kristine

That’s how it’s always been

And I know exactly what she can do

Don’t fall for her. ‘Cause you’ll be left with me

And I hate to be the only one who knows

This bit of truth

She’s not real, she never was–

even if you wait she’ll never be

She’s not real, all you get is me

She’s not real, she never was–

All you’re seeing is your fantasy

She’s not real, all you get is me

And my love

Is that enough for you

Underneath your beloved ingenue

Is a girl still helplessly on her knees

On a stage unlit, when the thunder hits

She cries and cries and cries

Will you be the first to recognize…

She’s not real, she never was–

even if I wait she’ll never be

She’s not real, all I am is me

She’s not real, she never was–

All I’m seeing is my fantasy

She’s not real, all I am is me

And will that ever be enough?

(teardrops on a rosy bed, I am always waiting

teardrops on a rosy bed, I am always here.)
