Shadow Of A Lie

I think I'm finally ready to admit defeat

Drop all my armor down to my feet

And raise this white flag up high in the air

Call off the search, 'cause I'm settled down

No disappearing, no more runnin' 'round

I'll be on the other end of every call I swear

If I believed in god would he answer my prayer

The hardest thing to be

Is what everybody wants you to be

But in the shade of my sunny life

I've seen the loneliness of

Living as the shadow of a lie

In everybody's eyes

Is that all it takes to fill these clothes?

The Hollywood hills of highs to the lonely lows

No vacancy for the in-betweens

Did you think that I would ever find my place

After living my whole life while being chased

by all their sorrows and all their hopes and dreams

Piece by piece I'll patch up these seams

The hardest thing to be

Is what everybody wants you to be

But in the shade of my sunny life

I've seen the loneliness of

Living as the shadow of a lie

In everybody's eyes

How can you be yourself when you're someone else?

How can you fold your hand if no one's dealt?

It might be time to cash in and go home.

The war almost over, with no ash on your toes

The hardest thing to be

Is what everybody wants you to be

But in the shade of my sunny life

I've seen the loneliness of

Living as the shadow of a lie

In everybody's eyes

The hardest thing to be

Is what everybody wants you to be

But in the shade of my sunny life

I've seen the loneliness of

Living as the shadow of a lie

Living as the shadow of a lie

Living as the shadow of a lie

In everybody's eyes
