Reality

You’re not sure how..
and you’re not sure why
You let them do this to you.
After all you’ve been through
and after all you’ve done to get away
from situations like these;
You find yourself back, begging for more.

They say you live and you learn,
but do we ever really learn?
Do we even give ourselves a chance?
A vicious circle, they say..
a never ending show.
Broken promises, broken lies
Nobody wins when reality sets in.

It seems like every time you turn around,
You’re wanting what you keep telling yourself you’re over.
Now is not the time, you hear, to give in.
Now is not the time to fall.
No matter what you do or what you say,
You find the trap you live to avoid.
Seeking revenge, you trip and fall
Back to where you don’t want to be.

You finally give up, you begin to breathe.

And with every breath you feel free
You gain the strength to be alone again
Happiness seeps through your teeth
It reaches the deepest layer of sorrow
You take one step back and lose everything you just gained
It all comes rushing back.. rushing back to you

They say you live and you learn,
but do we ever really learn?
Do we even give ourselves a chance?
A vicious circle, they say..
a never ending show.
Broken promises, broken lies
Nobody wins when reality sets in.
