I don't know you anymore
you're not the person I once knew
your smile has faded
your happiness has too
I can tell everything's not ok
you hide behind a broken smile
I could help you if you'd let me
just give me your hand for a while
Your heart is shattering in your hands
several pieces lay at your feet
there's nothing you can do to stop it
no way you can compete
You're caught up in a web of lies
and any direction you turn
gets you tangled up even more
and the web is starting to burn
Your life is falling apart
no one is there to dry your tears
and now right in front of you
your reality becomes your worst fears
"Oh please don't cry my friend
I've always been here for you
if you would've acknowledged my existence
I could have helped you through"
But it's much too late now
you're far too gone for me
I can't reach you anymore
I no longer hold the key
The key lies inside of you
if you'd open up your heart
I only wish you could see that
you're the one tearing you apart
