Surrender

give me what i need
to make it through tomorrow.
i’m begging. please,
i don’t want to drown in sorrow
again tonight like i have for so long,
so long now.
what you’ve given me i’ll never give.
you gave it all, your heart, your soul.
as the smoke clears you slowly start to see,
i’m not what you’ve dreamed.
i’m lying on the floor.
i’ve got nothing left.
watch me fall apart.
i surrender.
as you comfort me,
i can now see
that what you want you’ll never get.
i will only build you up so high
just to tear you down.
i’m lying on the floor.
i’ve got nothing left.
watch me fall apart.
i surrender.
nothing you see is real.
the person you know doesn’t even exist anymore.
and the smile? it’s just a mask
that keeps you from seeing the real me.
