A breath of sober air
Filling the depth of my lungs
First in a while
Can't even call it denial

Blatant avoidance
Of sobering truth
Till one morning you awake
Wondering if it was all a mistake

The illusion
The freedom
The feelings of a happy place
The hiding
The playing
Closely laying face to face

Coz when the veil is gone
And mirror comes crashing down
Somehow one can't control
Tears, hurt, frowns

Yes. Pain.
you sobering fool
You ripped my heart
And tore it in two

You squeezed so hard
So your presence was known
suffocating indeed
I struggle to breathe

And yet I know
I have no one to blame
I gave you a key
So its all on me

And in the same breath
I could never regret
Yet its time that you leave
Give me back the keys

Give me back my joy
Give me back my smile
I will love forever
Even when I don't know how

I'm sober now
Not living a dream
Let the journey begin
Hoping love will win...
