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 "it's 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
