Without Changing
I don't know the beginning.
I've fogotten the ending.
I gave up my past;
To loathe my future.
I crushed my hopes
To swallow their dreams.
I prayed
That they'd understand me.
I broke the rules
To fail the test.
I cheated my friend
To live my lie.
I raised up my hands
To silence their questions.
Broke my ties
To bind myself tighter.
Looked Medusa in her eyes
To have a tender heart
Looked love in the eyes
To be frozen solid.
Gave my everything
To gain nothing,
And gave nothing
To die.
So why can't I feel
Feel a rhythm in the breeze?
Why have I lost touch
To the things I hold dear?
Lost myself in ambition;
Gave myself to fear.
Broke my self worth;
Destroyed my tears.
Forgetting I'm real.
Forgetting I feel.
Forgetting the love you offered me.
I gave it away
So I could stay
Without changing.
I've fogotten the ending.
I gave up my past;
To loathe my future.
I crushed my hopes
To swallow their dreams.
I prayed
That they'd understand me.
I broke the rules
To fail the test.
I cheated my friend
To live my lie.
I raised up my hands
To silence their questions.
Broke my ties
To bind myself tighter.
Looked Medusa in her eyes
To have a tender heart
Looked love in the eyes
To be frozen solid.
Gave my everything
To gain nothing,
And gave nothing
To die.
So why can't I feel
Feel a rhythm in the breeze?
Why have I lost touch
To the things I hold dear?
Lost myself in ambition;
Gave myself to fear.
Broke my self worth;
Destroyed my tears.
Forgetting I'm real.
Forgetting I feel.
Forgetting the love you offered me.
I gave it away
So I could stay
Without changing.
