The Truth
i found myself in the shadows
because the hole you dug was deep
and now i find myself praying for god
my soul just to keep
but now i'm going to be forthright
and take this honest leap
so you better not close your eyes
because now's not time to sleep
i can't believe
that you never even called
you promised to be there
every time i'd fall
and now you have me
pressed against the wall
remembering the time we said
we'd make it through it all
i'm moving on and things
are better than before
everything i've been through
i have now closed the door
and after everything we've been through
i'm not asking for more
because you just took my heart
and shot it straight through the core
i should've known that you
would leave from the start
turn around and leave me here
alone in the dark
mentally and physically
just falling apart
but the strongest sound is the beating
of my lonely heart
i used to be the world to you
didn't realize that was fake
becasue putting all my trust in you
seemed to be a mistake
and now all those lie you've pulled
have given me all i can take
cause they pushed me into a corner
brought me to awake
and now a heart so cold and bitter
has replaced all your care
and all the memories you left
have now seemed to disappear
all the pain you tried to swallow up
is really just still here
but it's not worth the fight anymore
because it will never end up fair
so you see it's not my heart
you really even won
and your life will be filled with darkness
instead of mine with sun
you'll just keep thinking to yourself
i wish my life was done
and i'll be lauging in the distance
because it's just begun
