Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You say you want the truth but you can't take it
So I give you lies
I give you lies
[Verse 2]
You say you want the best but you destroy it
So I keep it inside
I keep it inside
[Verse 3]
I tell ya something
It's a double edged sword you're giving
And I can't see the truth in living
When we hide behind a wall of fear
And you don't see it
It's a twisted dream you believe in
And what's the use in pretending
Let's make the smoke and mirrors disappear
[Verse 4]
So there I said it
And I won't apologize to you anymore
'Cause I'm a grown ass man
And I won't live again
And I'm sick and tired of living in your shadow
[Verse 5]
So there I said it
No I won't apologize to you anymore
'Cause I'm a grown ass man
And I don't understand
Why I should be living in the shadows
So there I said it
[Verse 6]
You wanna hear my voice, my mind, my demons
But not too much
Or you'll give up
[Verse 7]
I tell ya something
It's a double edged sword you're giving
And I can't see the truth in living
When we hide behind a wall of fear
And you don't see it
It's a twisted dream you believe in
And what's the use in pretending
Let's make the smoke and mirrors disappear
[Verse 8]
So there I said it
And I won't apologize to you anymore
'Cause I'm a grown ass man
And I won't live again
And I'm sick and tired of living in your shadow
[Verse 9]
So there I said it
I won't apologize to you anymore
'Cause I'm a grown ass man
And I don't understand
Why I should be living in the shadows
So there I said it
