Pretend your sleeping He might believe you Close, close eyes Violate Violate Violate Make it stop Pretend your sleeping Violate Violate Violate Push, run, hide What can you do but hide what’s inside So that he doesn’t see whats truly in your eyes I heard she did that I heard she did this He wouldn’t lie He wouldn’t lie I can’t believe she would do that I heard she did this I heard she did that Friendless. Alone. I cry by myself But no one can hear the cries I cry by myself but no body wants to hear the cries Because they’re to busy thinking and believing All the lies Slut. SLUT. Slut. I try to scrub it away but everyone knows: That once the ink’s to the page You can’t scrub it away because It’s INK. Cut. Bleed. Cry. Cut. Bleed. Cry. Finally…. She meets a guy. She meets a guy that can make her feel Whole again. She meets a guy who actually acts like A friend. Love. Love. -Stifle- Too young for love. -Stifle- To young to be tied down. -Stifle- Need to get out. Cheat. Cheat. Cheat. Need to get out. I’m sorry. Cheat. Cheat. I’m sorry: I found a new guy. Love. Cheat. Cheat. Cheat. Second Chances Love. He takes me away to a special place He takes me away into space. Never before had I felt so whole, Never before had I been so bold But suddenly the patterns continue to unfold. Lies lies lies. I found a new guy. Love Love so much you can barely hold it in. Then all of a sudden: CHEAT. Cheat…cheat Heart keeps breaking breaking into a thousand pieces that maybe never be picked up but all of a sudden its time again for: Second Chances Only this time… Changes Maybe a girl can learn to trust again.
