You say you want the truth, but you can't take it

So I give you lies

I give you lies

You say you want the best, but you destroy it

So I keep it inside

I keep it inside

I tell you something

It's a double-edged sword you're giving

And I can't see the truth in living

When we hide behind a wall of fear

And you don't see it

It's a twisted dream you believe in

And what's the use in pretending?

Let's make the smoke and mirrors disappear

So there I said it

And I won't apologize to you anymore

Cause I'm a grown-ass man

And I won't live again

And I'm sick and tired of living in your shadow

So there I said it

No, I won't apologize to you anymore

Cause I'm a grown-ass man

And I don't understand

Why I should be living in the shadows

So there I said it

You wanna hear my voice, my mind, my demons

But not too much

Or you'll give up

I tell you something

It's a double-edged sword you're giving

And I can't see the truth in living

When we hide behind a wall of fear

And you don't see it

It's a twisted dream you believe in

And what's the use in pretending?

Let's make the smoke and mirrors disappear

So there I said it

And I won't apologize to you anymore

Cause I'm a grown-ass man

And I won't live again

And I'm sick and tired of living in your shadow

So there I said it

No, I won't apologize to you anymore

Cause I'm a grown-ass man

And I don't understand

Why I should be living in the shadows

So there I said it
