Again, staring at the light in the ceiling
Trying to forget and get over this feeling
Fighting the burns in my chest
Holding back my tears, the only way I know best
Scratching my skin but not enough to bleed
Can you grow a plant without a seed?
Then without my heart, how can I still breathe?

When you said you loved me
Was it just for me to follow you blindly?
Your kiss, your time vs your lies
To be a secret and only to be seen sometimes
And I had to be fine with that?
Aiming to reach high but I always end up flat

Believing in your dedication
While being led by your infatuation
But there was more underneath
This was the person I wanted to be with
Now understanding
I was the one pulling my heart on a string

War in my mind
Storm in my eyes
What else was there to find?
Ears full of your lies
Heart bruised from love ties

I still want to turn around and see you there
But you don't seem to care
