I look at you, and you seem the same guy:
Blond hair, blue eyes, a charming bright smile.
I realize now that's a mask you apply
Reality is a new dark lifestyle.
You put yourself in a state of great highs.
You go and throw out the hearts you broke.
You try to get out of your net of lies.
One moment of peace and quiet and hope.
There was a time when we tried to appeal
To your conscience. A desperate endeavor.
There's one mistake, which you cannot reveal.
A nasty secret, meant to be hidden forever.
I hope you'll have faith and don't shut us out,
isn't forgiving what family's all about?
