[Verse 1]
I'm a man
Trying to understand
The reason I'm lost in this world
Tonight
I was blind
I just couldn't see the signs
Caught in your web of lies
It's too dark to sleep
Too late to pray
Too hard to reach
Too much to save

[Chorus]
You were once a friend to me
Now you are my enemy
Passion turns to hate and you make
Hate worth fighting for
I will re-write history
And you will not exist to me
On the day you crossed the line
I found out love is war

[Verse 2]
Life goes by
Faster than lightning strikes
Crashes before you can say
Goodbye
Too scared to run
Too proud to hide
Too far to fall
Too high to climb

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I laid down my defenses
I opened up the door
I gave you what you wanted
I couldn't give you more
And I gave you everything
You said it's all or nothing
To you it's just a game
A game you're never losing

[Chorus][x2]
