Wake from the lie

Ah… ah…

Shadows breathing in the hall

Every memory starts to fall

I built a cathedral out of your silence

Praying to a ghost in your eyes

Years of chasing the echo

Of a love that never replied

I wore devotion like a wound

Hidden underneath my skin

Every step I took was toward you

But you never let me in

All the signs were carved in stone

But I refused to stand alone

Wake me from the lie

I've been living in your shadow all this time

I was reaching for a light

That was never burning in your eyes

Now the truth is cold and bright

Like thunder breaking through the night

All the years I gave away

To a dream that couldn't stay

The mirrors whisper unfamiliar stories

Of the girl I used to be

Someone lost inside devotion

Someone begging just to be seen

Every memory rearranging

Like a house of falling glass

All the love I thought we carried

Was a ghost I couldn't grasp

Every prayer I said for you

Was a prayer you never knew

Wake me from the lie

I've been living in your shadow all this time

I was reaching for a light

That was never burning in your eyes

Now the truth is cold and bright

Like thunder breaking through the night

All the years I gave away

To a dream that couldn't stay

Where was I

While I was loving you

Did my heart

Disappear into you

I was screaming in the silence

While you never heard my name

I was fading like a candle

In an endless falling rain

All the love I gave away

All the nights I knelt to pray

To a ghost that never stayed

To a heart that never came

Wake me from the lie

Let the darkness finally open up my eyes

I was drowning in a life

Built around your empty skies

Now the silence tells the truth

There was never me and you

All the years I gave away

But I'm waking up today

Ah… ah…

The dream is finally gone

Ah… ah…

And now I find myself all alone
