What happened to you
You've played the victim for so long now in this game
What I thought was true
Is made of fiction and im following the same
But if I try
To make sense of this mess I'm in
I'm not sure where i should begin
I'm falling, I'm falling
Now I'm in over my head with something I said
Completely misread I'm better off dead.
And now I can see how fake you can be
This hypocrisy's beginning to get to me.
It's none of my concern
Why look to me 'cause I don't believe in fame
I guess you never heard I've met our makers
They don't even know your name
But if I had to say good bye to leave this hell
I'd say my time has served me well
I'm falling, I'm falling
Now I'm in over my head with something I said
Completely misread I'm better off dead
And now I can see how fake you can be
This hypocrisy's beginning to get to me.
This came long before those who suffer more
I'm too awake for this to be a nightmare
Whats with my disgrace I lost the human race
No one plans for it to blow up in their face
Who said it was easy to put back all these pieces
Who said it was so easy to put back all of these pieces
Now I'm in over my head with something I said
Completely misread I'm better off dead
And now I can see how fake you can be
This hypocrisy's beginning to get to me
Over my head
Better off dead
Over my head
Better off dead
Away
