Too Late

We have been forced to live in an emotional haze
To break and burn, just to pretend to be okay
Nobody sees that we can be hurt in so many ways
But, one day someone will pay

One day the fire will burn to bright
And the pain will become to much to bear
We pretend there is always one light
That light is the darkness, that will tear

Tear until there is two
Two sides of the same
Why can't the world just take it's cue
Let us create yourselves with a new name

It is time for us to learn
That it is to late to burn
