Echoes

XI - Lie

I could have sworn I knew what was ahead
I didn't think it was true
That it was all in my head
I keep searching for you
Out where I thought I could find you

I ended up lost
You came in my dreams
I think I was a fool
To expect so much more
To think that you are what you seem
I know that I'm not the one you're going for

Everything in my heart denies
But my body says "Please try"
I can't change it so I have to lie
What I say may be touched with a sprinkle of fire
To burn down the tears that I cry

I'm never choosing to speak my mind
Because in this manner you will hear that silence is my loudest cry
I scream for my life
For what unfolds are right in front of my eyes
I don't seem to notice it
Cause I keep denying that past

Oh how I want to be touched
But I have to think of my own life
If I gave in and gave you what's mine
I don't want to be broken and attached
For here lies the truth
And there my love is buried down the roots

I once said I won't try
But I kept going and asking why
Gave you words that can spin your mind
If I start I will go far
And I swore I would not be the one tied
To an endless parade that could turn into dust
This will be my very last try
