How many reasons do I have left inside?
You leave me to tend my wounds
Dreams are broken in times of silence
Words no longer find a truth

Can you see it again?
Can you even pretend?

How many times must I hold back my tears
Before you leave me with no pride?
Broken dreams that just wont mend
A lifetime before my eyes

Leave me here, I don't see you
I no longer hide
Dreams are just memories
My skin is thicker this time

My sense of self, now smothered by your lies
The years have worn me down
What reason can I try to find
To tell myself "its alright"?

Can you see it again?
Can you even defend?

Leave me here I don't see you
I no longer hide
Dreams are just memories
My skin is thicker this time
