So I've seen my future
And I've seen dream killers
And I've seen you everytime

So I've heard opinions
And I've heard dark rumours
And I've heard you everytime

You hurt my feelings
You hurt my family
You hurt my reasons to try
I can't forgive you
I will remember
I'll pay you back one cold day

So I've seen my weakness
And I've seen my heart break
And I've seen you everytime

So I've heard promises
And I've heard every lie
And I've heard you everytime

You lied to father
You lied to mother
You lied to brother and me
I used to dream, now
I forget how to
So should I learn how to lie?

You take my picture
You take my ghosts and laugh
You take my reason
You take my soul away
You take my heartbeat
You take my innocence
You take my dreams and
You'll take my life away

So now I'm old news
And you would change me
But I'm so tired of this
There is no comfort
In fame when it dies
And I'm so tired of it
