Masquerade

Much The Same

Sitting here and reading your thoughts,

My heart sinks once again

Cause I caught you in another lie,

Find no truth in what you said

You say that you'll hurt my feelings

You say I won't understand

I say you're just a coward

Just a counterfeit friend



And all the times I've been there,

They didn't mean a thing

At least not to you, but

I know they meant something to me

And I wish that I could give up,

Is that what you want from me?

Because I'm still your friend

Even if you don't want me to be



My promises are haunting me,

Not so easily shoved aside

And yet I keep on trying to finally justify

Taking every single word back,

Every pledge I ever made

Because the friend I swore them to

Was nothing but a masquerade

Then you ask if something's wrong



If only you could hear this song

You'd just make up some lame excuse

So it's no use listening to you

What do you do when you're not lying,

Do you have other words to say?

Why do I have to try so hard

To keep from pushing you away?

I wish that I could give up,

Is that what you want from me?

Because I'm still your friend

Even if you've never been one to me
