Looking To the Future

As I close my eyes
Another part of me dies
I listened to your lies
And I tried to disguise
My hate for you
All the things I had to listen to
All the bad things you do
I wish what you said was true
Things stayed the same
And in the end I'm to blame
For letting you play this game
I just wait for sleep to claim
My mind once more 
Dream of what life was like 
before
You came to my door
And now I am tore
As I look to the future I see
A better life in front of me
