You say you want
the truth
but you can't take it
so I give you lies
I give you lies
You say you want
the best
but you destroy it
so I keep it inside
I keep it inside
I tell you something
it's a double edged
sword you're given
And I can't see
the truth in living
when we hide
behind our wall of fear
And you don't see it
it's a twisted
dream you believe in
And what's the use
in pretending
Let's make the smoking
mirrors disappear
So there I said it
no I won't apologize
to you anymore
'cause I'm a grown
as man
and I won't live again
And I'm sick and tired
of living in your shadows
So there I said it
no I won't apologize
to you anymore
'cause I'm a grown ass man
and I don't understand
why I should be living
in the shadows
So there I said it
You wanna hear
my voice
my mind, my demons
but not too much
or you'll give up
I tell you something
it's a double edged
sword you're given
And I can't see
the truth in living
when we hide
behind our wall of fear
And you don't see it
it's a twisted
dream you believe in
And what's the use
in pretending
Let's make the smoking
mirrors disappear
So there I said it
no I won't apologize
to you anymore
'cause I'm a grown
as man
and I won't live again
And I'm sick and tired
of living in your shadows
So there I said it
no I won't apologize
to you anymore
'cause I'm a grown ass man
and I don't understand
why I should be living
in the shadows
So there I said it
