I try to ignore the hurt inside And bit, by bit Part of me dies The smile on my face is just a lie A lie, a lie I just can't hide
The blade of a knife that cuts so deep The pain, the pain I don't dare speak I can't let you know the way I feel A secret I will keep
I don't need your sympathy Your vicious lies they're killing me And you don't even understand The things I feel or who I am
Try so hard to bring you joy My heart is cold the flame has died I hide behind the lie that has become the new me
I toss and I turn, I just can't sleep You're gone, so long, that's fine with me I won't turn around, my mind is clear but the wounds that you leave never heal
Now I know you'll never change You've got the same look on your face And things will never be the same It's over now and you're to blame Twist the knife, I feel the pain You hurt me but I won't complain And like a fool I'm smiling through the tears A fool, for you
A trick of the light where am I Time fades away like yesterday
I don't need your sympathy Your vicious lies they're killing me And things will never be the same It's over now and I'm to blame Can you do one last thing for me? Put me out of my misery I hide behind the lie that has become the new me, the real me
