Denial

I told myself a thousand times

That you were never mine

But every night I hear your voice

Like an echo in my mind

And I keep pretending I’m fine

But the mirror tells me I’m lying inside

Denial, it’s the bed where I sleep

The prison of dreams I can’t keep

I reach for you but you’re not there

Just shadows dancing in the air

Denial, it’s the truth I erase

A tear I hide on my face

If loving you was just a trial

I’m serving life inside denial

The photographs still haunt my walls

Your laughter in the halls

I tell the world I’ve moved ahead

But I’m still chained to what you said

And every promise I made

Turns to silence in the space you left behind

Denial, it’s the bed where I sleep

The prison of dreams I can’t keep

I reach for you but you’re not there

Just shadows dancing in the air

Denial, it’s the truth I erase

A tear I hide on my face

If loving you was just a trial

I’m serving life inside denial

Maybe someday I’ll break free

But you’re the ghost that lives in me

I can’t let go, I can’t let go...

Denial, it’s the bed where I sleep

The prison of dreams I can’t keep

I reach for you but you’re not there

Just shadows dancing in the air

Denial, it’s the truth I erase

A tear I hide on my face

If love was mercy’s cruel exile

Then I’m forever lost in denial

Forever lost… in denial…
