Ignorance

back

silent I stood still
wanting the truth to find me
so I play another part
painting on what makes you happy
sacraficing my sanity for your cheap thrills
while I try to hide

honesty can make or break me

but my heart's already left the room.
locked the doors.
given up.
I try to run,
but I always find myself in your arms again
there's too much you just don't want to know
sometimes my only joy is in my tears
so much to tell you -
but I don't know what to say
why do I let myself fall?
you wouldn't understand
sometimes even I can't read my mind
no one cared to tell me where all the happiness went
but I think I kept some for you
or maybe I gave you mine
and the show goes on
for some gifts can never be returned.
I don't want to play Jesus anymore.
