Secrets

I was petrified in a world all alone
With no real place to feel at home
I was swept away by the words from the storm
All the hate and fear that had me feeling torn
As I look back on all the times
Where I wished to live the better days in life
But I can't keep holding on when you're telling me that I'm wrong
You played a game, but it hurt me all the same

The same
I'm not the same

Wasn't only a name
Wasn't only a day
When my smiles fade away for your love of the game
But when I come home my stars are gone
An empty sky and a dream of hope
All those words pierce through my heart
They bring you up, but they drag me down

And I tried to play my cards right
With all these lies they tell me to believe
I was a fool, the joker of the hand
To think in the end they'd truly understand
But all my failed attempts to breathe and make amends
All for naught, not for me

For me
No not for me

Wasn't only a name
Wasn't only a day
When my smiles fade away for your love of the game
But when I come home my stars are gone
An empty sky and a dream of hope
All those words pierce through my heart
They bring you up, but they drag me down

Lately it's been getting better
Maybe I'm just getting stronger
Lately I've been getting better
That's because I'm getting stronger

Wasn't only a name
Wasn't only a day
When my smiles fade away for your love of the game
But when I come home my stars are gone
An empty sky and a dream of hope
All those words pierce through my heart
They bring me down

Wasn't only a name
Wasn't only a day
When my smiles fade away for your love of the game
But when I come home my stars are gone
An empty sky and a dream of hope
All those words pierce through my heart
They bring you up, but they drag me down

I'm so far down
My feet can't touch the ground and I'm lost
In the secrets of my past
How long will it last?
These secrets of my past
And I'm lost
In the secrets of my past
