The way it was

Because I can't see the light
Or an end to this in sight
Because I couldn't win the fight
If I tried

Because you're nothing left to me
This is how it has to be
And now you start to see
Why I can't cry

It's all a game we play inside
Wrapped in laughter, tears, and lies
And we waste another day
As we fall back beneath the knife

Because everything I had is lost
For never looking at the cost
Because in the trash my life was tossed
For nothing more

Because I can see it in your eyes
Behind the laughter and lies
You know whenever someone tries
I'll hit the floor

It's all a game we play inside
Wrapped in laughter, tears, and lies
And we waste another day
As we fall back beneath the knife
