Hatred and Pretend



I’ve lost so much
Will it ever be enough?
Will my heart ever be broken enough,
For you?
I’ve dealt with your Twisted ways
Your head games
I’ve let you throw my heart all over the place and What do I get?
What’s the prize?
 A cold shoulder And More lies
 A house Divided Once again,
A game of Us or Them
Thoughts Suicidal
On The fence
Torn between Hatred and Pretend
I’ve got to let this go now
Before it tears me apart
So here it goes now
I’m about to explode now
 I need a running start
Try to fly with Broken Wings
Broken Dreams And a Heavy Heart
I’ve lost so much
Will it ever be enough?
Will my heart ever be broken enough, For you?
I’ve dealt with your Twisted ways
 Your head games
I’ve let you throw my heart all over the place and What do I get?
What’s the prize?
A cold shoulder And More lies
 A house Divided Once again,
 A game of Us or Them
Thoughts Suicidal
On The fence
 Torn between Hatred and Pretend
This is my life,
My screen,
My words,
My hopes,
 My dreams,
My verse,
My blessings,
My curse
This is my show and I'm going to run it now Taking back myself
From you and Your Hell
Your demons
Your ghosts
 Nothing’s left
But an afterimage
So I keep blinking Til my Vision clears And I can see My life without you here
I’ve lost so much
Will it ever be enough? (No, I don’t think so) Will my heart ever be broken enough, For you? (Got to let this go)
 I’ve dealt with your Twisted ways Your head games (Enough’s enough)
 I’ve let you throw my heart all over the place (No more) and What do I get?
What’s the prize?
A cold shoulder (I'm frozen)
And More lies
I’m divided
Once again, A game of Us or Quits (It's time to thaw)
 Thoughts Suicidal (Turn this around)
 On The fence (Break it down)
Torn between (No longer)
A lover and A friend (My lover)
Today this ends.
