[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] Sifting through pieces, frozen in time, Replaying the end without reason or rhyme. Holding out for the better days tomorrow, Nothing can undo the hurt and the sorrow. [Verse 2] Deny, The lies, That you told me with a straight face. Imply, You’re right, Get under my skin and in my head. Decry, My life, Forever in pursuit of your satisfaction. Retry, The tricks, That worked once before, but never again. [Instrumental] [Prechorus] You said we would be forever, Forever lasts more than this. This is how the dust settled, Settled into the abyss. [Chorus] I’ve finally smiled and finally laughed, Gasped the air I breathe without you. Bringing the joy back into my life, One step at a time (step at a time). [Long Instrumental] [Verse 3] Holding my feelings deep in my mind, Searching for remedies I’ll never find. Praying that one day I’ll meet a guy, Treating me right, not telling a lie. [Verse 4] Rely, On time, To heal the scars you etched on me. Belie, My smile, A facade to get me through the day. Apply, Myself, To get my mind off of what’s inside. Goodbye, So long, You’ve made it clear that I’m no one. [Instrumental] [Prechorus] You said we would be forever, Forever lasts more than this. This is how the dust settled, Settled into the abyss. [Chorus] I’ve finally smiled and finally laughed, Gasped the air I breathe without you. Bringing the joy back into my life, One step at a time (step at a time). [Long Instrumental] [Verse 5] Deny, The lies, That you told me with a straight face. Imply, You’re right, Get under my skin and in my head. Decry, My life, Forever in pursuit of your satisfaction. Retry, The tricks, That worked once before, but never again.

[Long Instrumental] [Outro] [Instrumental] [Verse 7] Sifting through pieces, frozen in time, Replaying the end without reason or rhyme.
