My dreams have long been shattered,

A couple times around.

I'm only seventeen...

And already reality has struck me down.

Everyone has come to be so fake,

In this little world of lies.

No one, Nothing matters,

He says he loves you, but look into his eyes.

Tell me what it is that stares back at you,

What is it that you see?

Is it the love he spoke of?

Or the lust you've been fulfulling unintentionally.

Thats all relationships really are...

We all sheild ourselves from what we dont want to be true.

Is it bad to want it all over again?

To wish you were clueless to the lies he's spilling to you?

Would you give it all up?

All the time you spent trying to be strong.

Trying to get to who you were before...

This bastard came along.

Building yourself back up...

Only to let him push you back down...

Would you let it happen again?

Would you really want that all back around?

I sit and contemplate all the pain I have endured....

And all the sacrifices I've had to make...

And still I think that I'd give this heart away once more,

Knowing that in the end It would break.

Continually repeating the cycle,

Over and over again.

Just to feel wanted and needed...

Acting like I dont know...that it'll always be pretend.
