You've always said My own rage will be my ruin I was never serene enough for this world I've kept you safe I've sheltered you from the bitter cold And I'm sorry we're not cut from the same stone All I ever wanted Was to show you what it means To have nothing left to fear But my own self Oh now you know how it feels Living in someone else's dream Cause you're the only one that I believe in I might be cynical But at least I'm not naive Is this the perfect world you wanted Where you're safe in your armor I don't sleep cause I'm haunted By the words I'll never say If there's a quiet life beyond this Where you make me break a promise I can't live with my conscience There must be a better way All the times I've promised you I'm not the one to watch it all go by As long as we have a reason Cause it's hard enough to be alive No false pretenses Or hidden intentions I keep my promises And I don't surrender I will always be Your only defender No disguises I wear my scars A cold fire Where I used to have a heart I will always be Your one true nemesis All I ever asked for Was for you to know the truth I have nothing left to lose But my own self Oh now you know how it burns Knowing that you have made us enemies And I have nothing left To make you see Is this the perfect world you wanted Where you're safe in your armor I don't sleep and I'm haunted By the words I'll never say If there's a quiet life beyond this Where you make me break a promise I cannot live with my conscience There must be a better way
