Love is an illusion An addiction like a drug A commitment to the illusion Is a delusion called love Sure I’m sorry But I don’t know the reason why Do you Can you tell me Maybe share some of your excuses Justify my self abuses Help me lie to make my truth fit Can’t win, can’t quit What is this The game of life is risky business Bartender shrinks and lawyers Alone in a crowd What does it mean That nobody knows you Or nobody sees The you behind the mask you wear Distorted perception Nothing is clear Hide behind morals, ethics and jokes Deceive your own spirit Betray your own ghost Never find comfort No one ever hears or asks your forgiveness Or shows you they care So make up a story Maybe they’ll like How you lost all your feeling On a fool that you liked I I new you liked to be right all the time That’s why I told you I told you that lie The one that I said I new you wouldn’t stay And you told me you loved me And would never go away Now I can’t understand Why did you let yourself down I never heard you admit How you were wrong On my way home From hearing her good bye Every song on the radio Sounded like it was mine Every note every word Brought a tear to my eye Someone always telling me There good bye Then telling me there sorry Never telling me why Telling me they love me Tellling me lies Someone always telling me There good bye I have a condition All my dreams would have come true But I am lost without the feeling When I was loving you It wasn’t how you played me How you never even cared It wasmn’t how you had your way Then kicked me to the curb Cause I would sit for hours Waiting for you to arrive Or sit and wait for you all night Just to hear you lie Nothing up until now matters How can that be, can’t you see What the world has done to me It’s made me weak, made me sared Made me think noone cares About me and my life It’s not white or black or gray It’s not right, I just fight with myself Nothing seems wrong or ever is right Why the game or the test To much pain in the quest When you’re done nothings left And you tell me to stop Beating up on myself To do what I’m told To give up on whats left Of the life I am told Do you read The thoughts that I write Can you see What is out of my sight Is there a world Beyond my reach A place for my mind A place for peace Is there a test A pass to get in Knowledge that only Comes from within The heart and the soul The spirit the mind is there an answer The key to mankind Or is this life One time around Defined by the years We are lost above ground I can’t get away from myself Everyday I say I need change But never take time To get a hold of myself Now I’m lost and can’t tell what I did with myself I remember that day I put myself on the shelf changed my ways to see how it felt days turned to years and I’m left with a self I don’t know I don’t like I can’t live with myself I run and I hide to get away from this stuff but I’m here and I’m there and there’s never enough Thought I died but I lied to myself then I tried and I cried had no pride in myself
