Promises

Lost
Lost in illusion once again
The sun comes out, but I stay in
I let my fears sink through the skin
The darkest place I've ever been

Fall apart
How will my heart
Keep beating without you?
Can't overcome
The damage done
To everything I knew

I've come so far
To make my mark
I can't afford to lose
If all I want
Is dead and gone
Why should I continue?

Spent my life stuck in a song
But time keeps racing on and on
Was I mistaken all along?
Did passion steer me wrong?

I was a phantom in the making
Gave in and let the current take me
And I never dreamt of forsaking
The fairy tale that I was chasing

Now my whole world is rearranging
And I can feel the pressure changing
Everything I know I am

Fall apart
How will my heart
Keep beating without you?
Can't overcome
The damage done
To everything I knew

I've come so far
To make my mark
I can't afford to lose
If all I want
Is dead and gone
Why should I continue?
