V5.5

Intro: Here I was, trying to give you the world, When you were taking it for yourself. Now you’re out there twisting the truth, Spreading your lies like it’s something to prove. Verse 1: The ones that need to know, will certainly know in time. I’ll be patient, I don’t need to take you down. You’ve already paved your way, for future eyes to see. The truth always prevails, In given time. Chorus: I thought I was crazy, You led me on. Thinking it was me, all along. Second guessing my thoughts, you indulged on yours. Showing your evil, Deep within. Verse 2: You had me lost, you had me down. Returning my feelings to the lost, to be found. But honestly, how could you be angry with me? You put down the welcome mat and opened the door, staining your hands red, I no longer see you in black and white. Chorus: I thought I was crazy, You led me on. Thinking it was me, all along. Second guessing my thoughts, you indulged on yours. Showing your evil, Deep within. Bridge: It’s no wonder why books, churches and counseling didn’t help, you were off getting service, elsewhere. And here I was, writing songs about how I could be so much better for you. Yet, you were building a padded stage around your ego, Screaming ,”Come one come all, the tickets are free” or so it seemed, so it seemed. Outro: I won’t fall, I won’t fade. You can’t kill what you can’t control. I see through every word you say, I’m no longer hiding behind the games you play. I won’t chase every lie, Your illusion’s bound to break. The truth cannot survive the darkness, And I’m watching you unfold. Chorus: I thought I was crazy, You led me on. Thinking it was me, all along. Second guessing my thoughts, you indulged on yours. Showing your evil, Deep within.
