they ask how i'm doing.
I say I'm doing just fine.
But my eyes give me away.
Behind the empty words I say.
I try to hide.
I won't give in you can keep on trying.
I have become the ghost without even dying.
Just take a look at me
You will see,
Me drawing the lines, and creating boundaries.
Building walls so tall that no one can climb over it.
I guess it is possible, to own up to your own shit.
[Chorus]
Hidden away under the mask of uncertainty and self doubt. it handed me the truth.
And i had to live with. between hope and remembering why it hurts. i was so busy trying to escape my life. Because all i new was hurt.
If you tell the truth, it becomes a part of your past. But, if you lie, it becomes your future.
[Verse]
i have to get you out of my head.
I don't want to fall in the same wounds.
When every bad decision becomes a moment and becomes permanent. And everything after that changes. i am far from cured, for the first time i felt everything, it burned so much, knew
i was finally coming back to life. i'm being asked to survive again with no ghost chasing me. i finally looked back, nothing was there. i can feel the weight of every version of myself. I laid there greaving. i forgot it was my only life that was happening.
[Chorus]
Hidden away under the mask of uncertainty and self doubt. it handed me the truth.
And i had to live with . between hope and remembering why it hurts. i was so busy trying to escape my life. Because all i new was hurt.
If you tell the truth, it becomes a part of your past. But, if you lie, it becomes your future.
[Bridge]
i'm loving myself by letting you go.
between hope and remembering why it hurts.
No one witnessed the pain willfully inflicted the need purposely withheld the desires silenced long ago.
[Chorus]
Hidden away under the mask of uncertainty and self doubt. it handed me the truth.
And i had to live with. between hope and remembering why it hurts. i was so busy trying to escape my life. Because all i new was hurt.
If you tell the truth, it becomes a part of your past. But, if you lie, it becomes your future.
[Outro]
