you took my passion
stole my desire
rid me of excitement
made me a liar
i said i'm happy
told the world i'm free
but that's the furthest thing
from truth's harsh reality
you ripped away my life
killed me without letting me die
i never even said goodbye
before you made my life a lie
it's not just the color you took away
not just the light that shone from my eyes
it's the cloudy skies and rainy eyes too
you stole every emotion i ever knew
now i have to fight to cry
have to scream to feel alive
i have to break the lid off my bottle
so everything can spill outside
but there's one thing you can never take
something i never have to fake
it's my stubbornness that keeps me fighting
and my will to win despite my thief's trying
