There's an empty feeling deep inside
Forever yearning, never seem to find a way
And sometiemes I need to run and hide
And leave the darkness cast astray

PRE-CHORUS 1:
Try to tell myself I'm still holding on
To all the dreams inside, though they never seemed quite real
Now pain has clouded distant memories
Salted wounds that just won't heal

CHORUS:
Life is a lie - everything I thought I knew is gone
Hard to face another day
Life is a lie - all I ever wanted was the truth...

And in knowledge some may find their peace
But sometimes wisdom can turn upon its own
Find a truth that some should never see
A fool's reward, and better left unknown

PRE-CHORUS 2:
Tried to tell myself I'm still holding on
To all the dreams despite I know they're just not real
Nothing left for me but memories
Nothing left for me to feel

REPEAT CHORUS

SOLO: LT

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS 2
