The Charade

I thought that you would save me from the dark
You promised me a light to guide the way back home
I thought that I was safe here in your arms
But your embrace was just to hold me down
And suffocate what's left of me

Never thought a day would come
You'd turn your back on me and run
Forever
Never
Should have seen it long ago
You sold me out to serve your own
Agenda
I never

I thought that this would be a brand new start
Another chance to burn the pages that were written out for me
But the fire would only serve to light the spark
To set this off and tear apart
Everything I'm meant to be

Never thought I'd see the day
You'd leave me here to waste away
Forever
Never
But the seed you planted in my head
The lies you told, the fears you fed
You severed
Every dream I had

But yesterday is gone
And it's finally coming clear
And you think that I'll come crawling back to you
But I don't need you here
No I don't
Need you here

The wasted years you stole away
It's time to end this sick charade
Forever
Forever

You never thought this day would come
You've lost your hold on me and now
You're no one
And in the end you'll die alone
