Second Face

Mind, body, and soul

I gave to you

But under your pale skin

I could see it all

Now we pass each other like strangers

When I would have stood toe to toe with gods

For you

I was naive to everything

I would've given it all

But I've seen your second face

Can't play the role of the pawn

Every ounce, every ounce of faith

That I poured into you

I should've known all along

But I just played the fool

Count every second of every minute

Time wasted building up a hatred

Chose to ignore the truth

Refused to face it

Hanging by the tips of fingers

For too long I let it linger

I should've cut the rope

But I chose to live and suffer

When I should've just run for cover

Braved the storm

But it never stopped

I count every second of every minute

Time wasted building up a hatred

Chose to ignore the truth

Refused to face it

Chose to ignore the truth

Though I knew all along

Held on for my life

'fraid to take, 'fraid to take the fall
