They say the truth will set you free
Yeah like redemption felt walking down a church aisle.
Unless we walk in your shoes, what will we see,
But a trail of your sins strewn for miles.
And there just around the bend,
Your hidden life that has no end.
You step,
You turn
To your own private dance
Fooled you think you have us
Into believing not whether
We'd be fooled again.
You can't even give in,
And you don't know how to walk away
From this lie of yesterday.
Vows that you made are silenced around,
As you repeat a ritual knotted and tied.
On your knees you should fall to the ground.
But your morale only lessens
And there will be a next time
To connect to all the times when
You turned it into something beyond just friends.
You smile,
You yearn
To preserve your secret stance
Boldly thinking that you must
Justify it all not to be a romance
Unable to even recall when
The masquerade all began
Now we don't know what else we can say
To this grievance that's in the way.
Yeah you are going to throw it all away,
As the hands of time put away another day.
