After so many years and so many lies,

I’m still here believing your disguise.

I can feel the need inside of me,

Yet I can’t run and break free.

I’ve known about it all along,

How many times you’ve done me wrong.

But I’m trapped in my own cage,

And my love for you has turned to rage.

I wonder why am I still here?

Living a lie, living in fear.

Laying next to you at night,

Staring out the window at the moonlight.

You’re so close, yet so far away

Why do you lock me with these chains?

Don’t you see? I still believe

That someday It’ll be the way it used to be.

You and me laughing and talking about the world,

Creating a family, and having it all.

I miss the days you would hold me tight,

And would make everything feel right.

Now it seems like that won’t happen again,

But I still pray and hold your hand.

I only wonder who’s to blame,

Please tell me so I can stop the pain.

I’m only trapped but I can break free,

I’m not as weak as I used to be.

How could everything have gone so wrong,            

I once thought our love was strong.

Why do you choose to lie and cheat?

            What we have can never be beat

What’s missing between you and me?

            Or is it too late and can’t be fixed

Tell me I need to know

            In order to carry on

Or I can choose to break these chains and run away

            I’m too tired to be trapped another day

If you don’t have the courage to make it better

            Than its time to say goodbye and see you later.

At one time it was too easy to forget and forgive

Until I realized on how many lies a single person lives

I know we’re not perfect and things can happen            

Sometimes people get lost, confused and forgotten

But to what extreme can a person go?

To lie so much and sink so low.

 

Then I realized that I was just as bad

But I was too blind to see with my foolish pride

I had no clue how alike I really was

That my judgment was lost in all the cynical laughs

Now I stand in a room on my own           

Trying to fix everything that I’ve ever done.

 

Searching for answers that I already had

It was just a matter in looking into my heart

Walking away empty handed, but full of light           

Knowing that there’s always a tomorrow to continue the fight

Finding myself with true honesty            

And surrender to my own destiny

 

Now I pray and ask to be forgiven           

Because I couldn’t live another day in the world I lived in

            I ask for a chance to find peace in my mind

            To resolve all these issues and peacefully sleep at night.
