Lyrics by Ashley Michelle Hard

From the beginning I gave you all I had, and you took it even as I bled.
You seemed to care, but it was an act, what I refused to believe may be fact.
How do I see the truth behind the lies? Must I really cut all the ties?
Acid trickles over my heart, did you plan this from the start?
Did you set out to tear me down? How can you smile as I drown?
How much of my life did you construct? How much of my soul did you corrupt?
Do you feel any remorse for what you’ve done? To you, is it simply a funny pun?
The rage floods the sorrow, what will I do tomorrow?
How did I not see beyond your mask? Is being kind such a hard task?

You stole my heart like a thief in the night, then dropped it when I held too tight.
My love for you was true, for you there was nothing I wouldn’t do.
You used that to get what you wanted, you consumed me and left me haunted.
Haunted by these unanswered questions, planted in my mind by their suggestions.

Did you mean anything you said? Is there truth behind the tears you shed?
Is there truth in the accusations? Should I listen with hesitation?
Are you the one I believe you to be? Or are you who everyone else sees?
Do I really want to know? Can I handle it having been a show?
My breath leaves, threatening to not return, the acid over my heart continues to burn.
I ask these things when you’re not around, but never when I hear you make a sound.
With you I feel you are sincere, is it just an energy mirror?
Am I projecting my love? If I let go, will you flee like a dove?
Will you leave my heart this broken? Or will you mend it once I’ve spoken?

You stole my heart like a thief in the night, then dropped it when I held too tight.
My love for you was true, for you there was nothing I wouldn’t do.
You used that to get what you wanted, you consumed me and left me haunted.
Haunted by these unanswered questions, planted in my mind by their suggestions.

Was there anything you really did wrong? Is it me who was not strong?
Are you the person I feel you are? Or is the truth still so far?
How could I fall for the same trick twice? Is life simply a roll of the dice?
Or is this time different from the last? It’s not a mistake if we learn from the past.
Did I not learn at all before? Or is everyone’s judgment just poor?
I was so happy before the doubt, now all I want to do is shout!
Should I not let my faith in you fade? Should I leave my doubt unpaid?

You stole my heart like a thief in the night, then dropped it when I held too tight.
My love for you was true, for you there was nothing I wouldn’t do.
You used that to get what you wanted, you consumed me and left me haunted.
Haunted by these unanswered questions, planted in my mind by their suggestions

The simple seed of doubt grew a strong tree, from which I desperately want to flee.
But to it I am bound with chains, it is the cause of my pains.
You did nothing wrong, it is me who is not strong.
I did not yet question you, in your eyes my love is still true.
I did not yet destroy what I have with you, and that is something no one can make me do!
