Ask for the truth, I'll give you a lie

You'll never know that I want to cry.

The words you said, they hurt like hell.

You victimize yourself, but know that you're well.

You've cut me deeply, much deeper than deep

You're pushing me farther, you're making me weep.

You say you accept me, (I know well that you don't)

"Come back to religion" (Please, you know I won't)

Guilt me as you like, say to me what you please

But know I won't change and this fighting must cease.

You say that I'm distant, you've made me this way.

You worry I'm leaving but don't try convincing me to stay.

I can no longer take it, this pain you bring me

Just remember, I've only one more year 'til I'm free.
