You'd see the heartache;

You'd see the pain;

You'd see the way they lie and shame;

You'd see that no matter what you do,

You're always going to be you.

Distressed, dismayed and betraying

 

Keeping everything so tightly wound

Is bound to cause a rupture

Spewing the pain you strive the concele
