Illusory light

I knew exactly
I knew exactly what this would feel like
I knew exactly this day was coming
I knew it right from the start
I could see it in your eyes, but I just didn't care
I knew the days were numbered, but I fell anyway

I knew exactly
I knew exactly what you would be to me
A scar on the horizon, a perfect dim illusory light
And I held it in my hands to protect it from the wind
But the more I held on, I knew I'd lose it again

You blew in like a breeze and roller out like a storm
I know you didn't think it'd do any harm
I knew exactly
I knew exactly what this would feel like
To hear the same voice that said "hello" say "goodbye".
