Karly Jaye

Caught in between two different me's
Two different personalities
One that wants to succeed
While the other one fell through the crack
...

I tore my wings off my back
So I could use them as fins
Maybe they'll save me from sinking
As I struggle deep within
...

Searching for reassurance, I found that in you,
I found life is as beautiful as the heart inside of you.
Some things we want forever, some things we must let go,
and with each passing day my love for you only grows.
...

Satan save me, I must be prayin’ to the wrong God
Prayin’ for something untouchable, but I’m supposed to be flawed
I’m supposed to be hurting with watering eyes, God tell me why
Why I endure this, why I still try
...

How long could someone live while dead inside?
How long could someone possibly fight for something that appears so wrong but never felt so right?
They could fight as long as they’re aware of the strength inside
The power we all posess to feel innocent, alive
...

Try to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders without falling flat
Without forgetting how to use what little strength you have
Try to be the reason those tortured souls can smile
Without losing the false happiness you have inside
...

When she climbs that high she knows how far she’s gonna fall
She held on to it all to watch it break away and crumble
She knows she held it too tight, till the heart turned to dust
With a bittersweet taste to even have a love like that lost
...

She paints a smile, wipes the tears from her eyes
Pretends she’s alright as she musters what little strength is inside
Had you fooled into thinking everything was okay
But she knows the devil is preaching to her soul every day
...

Listen to my words baby,
maybe they will drown out your screams.
And as I take hold of your heart,
remember mine too has been ripped at the seams.
...

My load was heavy enough to carry,
before you placed yours on top.
Every instance of my past has spoiled my heart,
now it rots.
...

Dear God, these are not prayers,
I am sure you do not exist.
There is not a single thing I would ask of you,
I have no doubt it's one thing I would not get.
...

I guess the selfish ones have it all figured out.
It's like you give and give,
but are only left with doubts.
I know tomorrow is not promised,
...

Lung capacity declines,
I've been suffocation for weeks.
I'd gasp for air, but for years you've held my head under the sink.
And you laugh like it's funny,
...

Feels like I've been wating forever,
for the sun to rise,
for a chance again just to feel alive,
for something more out of this wasted life,
...

To gain your respect I've done my best
To show I'm perfect
Show you I'm worth it
But I know I don't deserve it
...

Your words are like daggers
Like your tongue is made of silver
Sending me shivers
Every time you unclench your teeth
...

Trying to forget is like ripping open my stitches
Torn from the pain you so kindly inflicted
Because your lies always sounded so beautiful to me
It seems I was caught, blinded, and stuck in between
...

I'll keep the moon and stars in a bottle
Maybe there they'll dance for me
Inside that glass, forever to rest
Then I won't feel so empty
...

I know for a fact there's something wrong with this picture
As my skin gets thicker the lies grow bigger
It's so hard to watch as it all falls apart
But it was bound to happen, I told you from the start
...

I know I did nothing wrong
So it appears to me you love not getting along
I bet you didn't know you're tearing me apart
Or do you just love knowing you're breaking my heart?
...
