So many times I'd cry myself to sleep
Haunted by these bad days I wish I could skip
I wish the rain could wash away my pain
...
Here I am once again
With no one to numb on my pain
Fell in love with nothing to gain
Nothing but a lot of shame
...
I tasted all that is sweet
But found nothing sweeter than your lips
I tasted all that is bitter
...
I wear a smile
A smile that's fake
Worn to cover the sadness written on my face
That way the world won't see I'm in pain
...
I'm drowning in my dreadful desires
They consume me like a roaring fire
I'm a prisoner to my addictions
...
