about

As told by Victoria.

lyrics

You're sitting at his feet doing just what you're expected
But you're letting yourself down, all your morals left neglected

You'll say it's a process all for the happy ending
But you aim for picture perfect, and you'll just keep on pretending

Forget about the pictures, look inside a mirror
See the sadness in your eyes
You could save yourself, cause I know damn well you don't believe in your own lies

But still you smile and play along
To fix the fights that happen every day
And it kills me when you smile
You say things were rough but now it's all okay

It's not okay

He's tearing you apart, and you'll just keep on pretending
Cause the pictures show a life, a bride, a groom, a future wedding

So if you're listening

You're so excited for the future,
But I can't help but believe you're only excited to get away from him,
from here, from everything

Still you smile and talk about the wedding
You're not even eighteen

(You're so alone together)

You don't believe in your own lies
No, you don't

The name comes from the eponymous poem, Eros Turannos, by Edwin Arlington Robinson. It's a great read, and a poem about very much the same thing as this song. Check it out.
