FAKE

This place has begun to cover me
I recall the light, but the dark smothers me
I prefer the feelings I know right now
I don't worry about feeling very proud

You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would

But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I'm open for a new way
Because there's not much more that I can fake

It's almost seeing your soul for the first time
And watching the mirror show you life in rewind
Capture the ridicule of everyone
I'm tired of trying, and they wonder why I'm gone

You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would

But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I'm open for a new way
Because there's not much more that I can fake

I can't fake it

You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would
You don't know how it feels
To be misunderstood
To reach for the sky
I thought you never would

But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I'm open for a new way
Because there's not much more that I can fake
But I'm bleeding, and my hands are bruised
From the grip that I once had on you
And I'm open for a new way
Because there's not much more that I can fake

So I'll be on my way...

Wrap me in a bolt of lightning
Send me on my way still smiling
Maybe that's the way i should go
Straight into the mouth of the unknown

Left the spare key on the table
Never really thought i'd be able to say
I merely visit on the weekend
I lost my whole life and a dear friend

I've said it so many times
I would change my ways
No never mind
God knows i've tried

Call me a sinner call me a saint
Tell me it's over i'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite call me the worst
Tell me it's over i don't want you to hurt
It's all that i can say so i'll be on my way

I finally put it all together
But nothing really lasts forever
I had to make a choice that was not mine
I had to say goodbye for the last time

I kept my whole life in suitcase
Never really stayed in one place
Maybe that's the way it should be
You know i've led my life like a gypsy

I've said it so many times
I would change my ways
No never mind
God knows i've tried

Call me a sinner call me a saint
Tell me it's over i'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite call me the worst
Tell me it's over i don't want you to hurt
It's all that i can say so i'll be on my way

I'll always keep you inside
You healed my heart and my life
And you know i tried

Call me a sinner call me a saint
Tell me it's over i'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite call me the worst
Tell me it's over i don't want you to hurt
It's all that i can say so i'll be on my way
So i'll be on my way so i'll be on my way
