The loneliness around me is filling every space

It sits in every corner, it shadows every face

I see some random strangers too busy holding hands

The memories you left me, pave paths I cannot trace 

 

I have to keep on smiling and shine on every street 

I have to look just happy, enough for them to meet 

The one who's always wanted, the one who has it all 

Who wants a broken spirit to deal with after all?

 

So I go on pretending that life is a charade 

And every smile I'm faking, for you I will parade

And maybe you will never find out just what it takes

To watch all your beginnings come to a sudden end

 

For every dream you shattered, for every role I play

For every thought that mattered, for every word I say

For every acted moment, for every silent scream 

I'll be your daily torment, I'll haunt your every dream. 

 

I'll shine through nightly chatter, I'll haunt your daily thoughts 

I'll be your darkest moment, I'll scar you with my thorns

I'll curse your every motion, I'll steal your every hope 

Until you learn to fake it the way I had to learn.
