The air that you breathe it must be poison
|
And you're dressed up in your best disguise
|
I don't want to hear what you have to say
|
It's there in your eyes when you look away
|
These beautiful words are turning into lies
|
|
Chorus:
|
How can you say that to me
|
|
The light that still shines is just an illusion
|
Just a memory from a burned out star
|
Its promise has come from so far away
|
It's fighting through sadness and years of decay
|
And it's a wonder it ever made it this far
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
After all of those secrets you let me believe
|
There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe
|
How can you say that
|
|
It's not this silence that screams in my mind
|
Each day I feel like I'm falling behind
|
Living in shadows, still getting burned
|
When will I ever learn
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
After all those secrets you let me believe
|
There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe
|
How can you say that to me
|
