Another day has passed
Good and bad all at once
Another dissonance
Knocks me right off track
You say that I’m great, but
I should give more
It’s not enough
Somehow it never counts
It never meets the mark
I don’t know what it’s real anymore
(Your words never line up)
I can't tell if I should trust you
(Your actions speak too loud)
When I try so hard to give you my best
You pat my back then you throw it away
Every time I give you all of my heart
Your praise shines bright but your actions lie
Another day has passed
Good and bad all at once
Another chain that bites me
Down into the ground
You promise all that shines
Golden ground
Golden lies
To take my freedom and
To keep me in disguise
I don’t know what it’s real anymore
(Your words never line up)
I can’t tell if I should trust you
(Your actions speak too loud)
When I try so hard to give you my best
You pat my back then throw it away
Every time I give you all of my heart
Your praise shines bright but your actions lie
(Actions lie)
I can’t tell if I should trust you
Every time I step up
Out of the box
You just shut me down
(Your words never line up)
Every time I let my
Needs all speak up
You just turn me down
(Your actions speak too loud)
When I try so hard to give you my best
You pat my back then throw it away
Every time I give you all of my heart
Your praise shines bright but your actions lie
(Actions lie)
Actions lie
Your praise shines bright but your actions lie
(Actions lie)
Your words never line up
Your actions speak too loud
