I try to ignore the hurt inside
And bit, by bit
Part of me dies
The smile on my face is just a lie
A lie, a lie
I just can't hide
The blade of a knife that cuts so deep
The pain, the pain
I don't dare speak
I can't let you know the way I feel
A secret I will keep
I don't need your sympathy
Your vicious lies they're killing me
And you don't even understand
The things I feel or who I am
Try so hard to bring you joy
My heart is cold the flame has died
I hide behind the lie that has become the new me
I toss and I turn, I just can't sleep
You're gone, so long, that's fine with me
I won't turn around, my mind is clear
But the wounds that you leave never heal
Now I know you'll never change
You've got the same look on your face
And things will never be the same
It's over now and you're to blame
Twist the knife, I feel the pain
You hurt me but I won't complain
And like a fool I'm smiling through the tears
A fool, for you
A trick of the light where am I
Time fades away like yesterday
I don't need your sympathy
Your vicious lies they're killing me
And things will never be the same
It's over now and I'm to blame
Can you do one last thing for me?
Put me out of my misery
I hide behind the lie that has become the new me, the real me
