I've lied like you
About things that I used to do
This is the last smile
I give when I bow to the likes of you
Why did I never walk away?
Why did I simply stay?
Now I see your crushing me
Pushes me away
I've tried to be
Everything you wanted me to be
This is the right time
To be the person inside of me
Why could I never walk away?
Why did I have to pay?
Now I see your pushing me
Has faded me away
But everything has fallen apart
I'm all out of time
There's nothing left to do
But to watch it all unwind
