I had hope for a change in your heart
it only came from others' false words
it's a mind game of hide&seek, I always win

i told you lies
you lost respect
shocked by the hypocrite
i made you believe i was
are you impressed?

I only blame you to deny my faults
the confrontation has wrinkles and a bad back
If a volcano erupts in the middle of a forest, is anyone burned?

the tighter I clutch
the farther away you feel
to my desperate hands.
