Lies in disguise
sound like caring words
Truth in your eyes
seem to cut me like swords
Guess it’s time to suit up
Breastplate and shield
Protect myself
until all wounds are healed

They say fighting is wrong
To forgive is to be strong
While I’m working on that
Just act like I belong

Keep saying you’re proud
Keep lying out loud
Your words don’t mean a thing
You haven’t helped or seen
The life that I’ve been through
It’s never for me
It’s all about you
But in the end you’ll see
Just keep saying you’re proud of me.

Adoration you expect
yet, you can’t provide the means
You chose to neglect
every cry and every scream
Not interested in love
Not interested in me
Interested in appearance
So saying “I believe”.

They say fighting is wrong
To forgive is to be strong
While I’m working on that
Just act like I belong

It’s time I started my quest
I’m out to conquer the world
For me, I must do what’s best
The map must be unfurled
I will pin my destination
the farthest I will go
to form a new foundation
So that I can truly grow.

But, keep saying you’re proud
Keep lying out loud
Your words don’t mean a thing
You haven’t helped or seen
The life that I've been through
It’s never for me
It’s all about you
But in the end you’ll see
Just keep saying you’re proud of me.
