I always accepted what you said as the truth And only the truth But, now, the truth seems just a bitter lie That I wanted so to believe I wanted to keep you from your pain To shield you from the fire I wanted to be a shoulder, for you to cry on I tried to heal your heart... I don't know, I don't know If I did any good, any good at all I tried to save you from your demons The ones that stare out, from behind your mask The intensity was overwhelming, the power you posses No, no I was never afraid of you I think I was just in awe... You were everything I needed, everything that I wanted (right down to the color of your eyes) I tried to teach you how to love again (I think that you had forgotten how) Instead, instead I lost you I watched you walk out that proverbially door And I don't know why you fled, or why I still care... I call out, to the darkness, to the night But,there is no answer in the wind,in the stars,in my dreams And, now I think I've almost lost the power to believe As all my faith fades slowly away I'm putting on a show, trying to pretend I don't really know what to do,so I'm doing what I always do I'm acting like everything's fine and dandy Will you just call my bluff, already? 'Cause I'm really not this strong I can't keep holding on like this,without a solid reason to... So, give me a reason, dammit, give me a reason to believe Stop trying to save face, stop trying to hide yourself away You can't this up forever, 'cause it'll kill you And only the good die young... |
