Twelve

Sat on the stair, Head in my hands
 You asked me now for a smile
 See only one, the other lies
 This buckled love destroys me
 And I realise, For all my life
 I kid myself, It's over
 Consumed with all, except the truth
 I lie to myself, denial...
 All on my own, I use the glass
 Sustaining echoes in me
 The picture falls, a broken frame
 Tearing this world I wanted
 And I realise, for all my life
 I kid myself, it's over
 Consumed with all, except the truth
 I lie to myself, denial...
 That which you gave to me
 Now I give to you
 What could you take from me?
 I saw it all
 Death through my eyes
 No part of me
 Your everything's not enough
 I ache inside, splintered in mind
 No one saw me crying,
 I'm wasting away
 A milestone in my life
 Forgotten...
 And I realise, for all my life
 I kid myself, it's over
 Consumed with all, except the truth
 I lie to myself, denial...
 I kid myself, it's over
 I kid myself, denial...
