How many reasons do I have left inside? You leave me to tend my wounds Dreams are broken in times of silence Words no longer find a truth Can you see it again? Can you even pretend? How many times must I hold back my tears Before you leave me with no pride? Broken dreams that just won't mend A lifetime before my eyes Leave me here, I don't see you I no longer hide Dreams are just memories My skin is thicker this time My sense of self, now smothered by your lies The years have worn me down What reason can I try to find To tell myself "it's alright"? Can you see it again? Can you even defend? Leave me here I don't see you I no longer hide Dreams are just memories My skin is thicker this time
