I’m getting smaller everyday
Shrinking by the hour
And when I am gone from your life
Will you miss me?

We lie, we cheat, and steal
Love we live to deceive
We risk we chance we feel
Things hard to believe

I am the smoke you brush away
With the hand that touched me
The ambience and the mood
And you seek to be free

We lie, we cheat, and steal
Love we live to deceive
We risk we chance we feel
Things hard to believe

The thoughts the notions the drive
Never cease to amaze
This life creates the prize, the highs
Dreams within my waking day
We find we claim we take, we wake
The soul that makes us alive
We hurt we’re lost we seek to save
We fight refuse to die.

You broke I choked the heart that bleeds
Within my heaving grieving chest
And with your guarded walls you crushed
You squeezed you pulled you pressed
I prayed I cried expressed, confessed
That you would my bride no less
Stubborn you, act the fool, I digress
The fears compressed I rest.

We lie, we cheat, and steal
Love we live to deceive
We risk we chance we feel
Things hard to believe

Longing hurting desire
To taste what makes us ache
We are drawn to the fire
Pulled by the things we crave.
The things hard to believe.
