Why so condescending
I'm done pretending
It's all fake
Might have always been
Your lies sting and I'm descending
I can't keep bending
Or I'll break
Crumble from within
Illuminate this dark place where I find myself
Before it's too late
It's nearly too late
You're fading to obscurity
Why do I keep on clinging to these memories of you and me
It's smoke and mirrors but I can't leave
I keep on giving but you deceive
A fleeting illusion that keeps on evading me
Why do I believe in what I cannot see
I guess it's all for nothing
I guess it's all for nothing
Please hate me cause this apathy is killing me
Please hurt me, cause at least it's gonna make me feel
Right now I can't tell the hardest part
Letting go or let it consume my heart
Please fight me cause this apathy is ending me
Please break me, cause at least I could begin to heal
'Cause I cannot tell the hardest part
You could have let me know right from the start
It's smoke and mirrors but I can't leave
I keep on giving but you deceive
A fleeting illusion that keeps on evading me
Why do I believe in what I cannot see
I guess it's all for nothing
I guess it's all for nothing
You keep running away, running away, from this war
You should mean nothing to me, nothing to me, anymore
I feel I'm rotting away, rotting away, to the core
But you've got nothing to say, why do I stay, closing doors
Please hate me cause this apathy is killing me
Please hurt me, cause at least it's gonna make me feel
Please leave, 'cause it's the only way that I can heal
It's smoke and mirrors but I can't leave
I keep on giving but you deceive
A fleeting illusion that keeps on evading me
Why do I believe in what I cannot see
I guess it's all for nothing
I guess it's all for nothing
I guess it's all for nothing
I guess it's all for nothing
