You turned my life upside down
Home is hell and hell is home
You're under my skin, still can't reach my soul
The shadow within will take control
Let it go, this charade ends now!
Can't wait another day
End this masquerade
I'm breaking away, breaking away
I can no longer stay
End this masquerade
Breaking away, I'm breaking away
Take my life back
Take my life back
I'm shattered, broken
Nothing is left
Take my life back
I don't owe you nothing, 'cause nothing is left
You took everything, but the pain in my chest
I'm looking at myself
As I'm looking back
My blood runs cold and my heart turns black
Dismiss and disrespect
Who am I, when my heart is dead
Dismiss and disrespect
Who am I, my heart is black
Can't wait another day
End this masquerade
I'm breaking away, breaking away
I can no longer stay
End this masquerade
Breaking away, I'm breaking away
My blood runs cold, my heart turns black
My blood runs cold, my heart turns black
My blood runs cold and my heart turns black
And now my heart turns black
You took everything, but the pain in my chest
And now my heart turns black
Can't wait another day
End this masquerade
I'm breaking away, breaking away
I can no longer stay
End this masquerade
Breaking away, I'm breaking away
Take my life back
Take my life back
I'm shattered, broken
Nothing is left
Take my life back
My heart is black!
