i was lied to when i was told life was fair

and that someone would always be there

i hated myself more than anyone else

i was so unhappy with the cards i was delt

when i was a child

my castle was my home

now i walk down empy streets

memories and me alone

it's easier to burn a bridge

than to cross it

to slip, give in, give up, move on, and try to forget

more's been said in silence thancould ever be spokenin words

secrets shared

and promises kept

and feelings that will never be cured
