Innocence stripped Purity gone The line has been drawn I can no longer hold my head high about the things I held dear Willfully given, yet greedily taken without remorse I could not say no to his force You do anything to keep the ones you love But I realized too late that I was drowning in a lie If this was true love I wouldn't hurt and cry Happiness gone Contentment stripped You left me here with a broken heart that couldn't be knit I've built up my walls, good luck trying to hurt me now Love is a battlefield and this time I'm prepared for war Love is a gamble and I won't keep laying my cards down at your table One day I'll look back on these days and know I learned from it But all I've learned so far is that I can love someone to the ends of the Earth... And they can still hurt me worse

A Lie Lived and Fought
Innocence stripped Purity gone The line has been drawn I can no longer hold my head high about the things I held dear Willfully given, yet greedily taken without remorse I could not say no to his force You do anything to keep the ones you love But I realized too late that I was drowning in a lie If this was true love I wouldn't hurt and cry Happiness gone Contentment stripped You left me here with a broken heart that couldn't be knit I've built up my walls, good luck trying to hurt me now Love is a battlefield and this time I'm prepared for war Love is a gamble and I won't keep laying my cards down at your table One day I'll look back on these days and know I learned from it But all I've learned so far is that I can love someone to the ends of the Earth... And they can still hurt me worse
