it's an echo loud and clear
no one but me can hear
don't you love it when i'm not there
don't you love my cries of despair
don't you love the fact that i'm
disappearing into time

solitude envelopes me
as my tears break away
you will never see
what you're doing to me day after day

you're so clueless in your own world
leaving everyone out
i'm standing here alone
with my mind full of doubt

why do some people seem to have the world in their hands
while others live their life as a game
playing a life of pretend
what's all the crap of our footprints left in the sand
i'm left in the cold with no one around
no one understands.

but i'll get better and then you'll see
past your foolish minds
that underneath your fake smiles
you're no better than me

don't try to make me jealous
i've played that game before
but i'm not such a fool, i won't believe
then you'll just end up with the losing score

what's so perfect about your life
you're so insecure
you see the need to put others down
with daggers you set a lure

but i won't get tricked
because i know
you're not who you say you are
your fake smiles and friendly laughter
hide a knife you'll suffer from soon later
