Lyrics

Why are you doing this to me? Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be? Why am I seething with this animosity? (This animosity) I think you owe me a great big apology Terrible lie! Terrible lie! Terrible lie! Terrible lie! I really don't know what you mean (don't know what you mean) Seems like salvation comes only in our dreams I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme (hatred grow all the more extreme) Can this world really be as sad as it seems? Terrible lie! Terrible lie! Terrible lie! Terrible lie! Don't take it away from me I need you to hold on to Don't take it away from me I need you to hold on to Don't take it away from me I need you to hold on to Don't take it away from me I need someone to hold on to Don't tear it away from me I need you to hold on to Don't tear it away from me I need someone to hold on to Don't tear it away from me I need you to hold on to Don't tear it Don't tear it Don't take it Don't take it Don't There's nothing left for me to hide (left for me to hide) I lost my ignorance, security and pride I'm all alone in a world you must despise I believed your promises Your promises and lies Terrible lie! Terrible lie! Terrible lie! Terrible lie! (Terrible lie!) You made me throw it all away My morals left to decay (Terrible lie!) How many you betray You've taken everything (Terrible lie!) My head is filled with disease My skin is begging you please (Terrible lie!) I'm on my hands and knees I want so much to believe (I give you everything, my sweet everything) I need someone to hold on to (I give you everything, my sweet everything) I need someone to hold on to (I give you everything, my sweet everything) I need someone to hold on to (I give you everything, my sweet everything) I need someone to hold on to (I give you everything, my sweet everything) I need someone to hold on to
