Lyrics

[Verse 1]

What happened to you?

You played the victim for so long now in this game

What I thought was true

Is made of fiction and I'm following the same

[Verse 2]

But if I try to make sense of this mess I'm in

I'm not sure where I should begin

I'm falling

I'm falling

[Verse 3]

Now I'm in over my head with something I said

Completely misread, I'm better off dead

And now I can see how fake you can be

This hypocrisy's beginning to get to me

[Verse 4]

It's none of my concern

Why look to me, 'cause I don't believe in fame

I guess you never heard

I've met our makers, they don't even know your name

[Verse 5]

But if I had to say goodbye to leave this hell

I'd say my time has served me well

I'm falling

I'm falling

[Verse 6]

Now I'm in over my head with something I said

Completely misread, I'm better off dead

And now I can see how fake you can be

This hypocrisy's beginning to get to

[Verse 7]

This came long before

Those who suffer more

I'm too awake for this to be a nightmare

What's with my disgrace?

I lost the human race

No one plans for it to

Blow up in their face

[Verse 8]

Who said it was easy

To put back all these pieces?

Who said it was so easy

To put back all of these pieces?

[Verse 9]

Now I'm in over my head with something I said

Completely misread, I'm better off dead

And now I can see how fake you can be

This hypocrisy's beginning to get to me

[Verse 10]

Over my head

Better off dead

Over my head

Better off dead

Alright
