This life was never meant for me
I’m filled with pride and jealously
My ego held me back for years
And now I’m left to sitting here,

I thought about leaving it all behind
Just one swift click, won’t say goodbye  
I feel so hopeless and don’t know why
Another day with a mask, or a comforting lie

I met a girl but I’m afraid what I’ll do
I am unstable, don’t wanna damage you
The tough times in the past the lord helped me through
But my faith is shaken with each priest that’s been sued

Religion was never something I loved
It was a chore before Sunday brunch
My innocent love is gone with the wind
My heart has been broken again and again

I keep looking for love in a world that is fleeting
One night stands never have any meaning
Yet why am I tempted by being a fake
Maybe to cope with the mirrors I hate
