Hiding The Past From You

I look at you, my world, my light
I am happy in this beautiful life
The nights can be cold but there is no harm
You hold me gently in your arms
Convinced that there is nothing more to fear
I look at you smiling, then see your tears

I'm hidden behind one solid tear
Lost in a trance, a secret disguise
Lost in conviction, my own little lies
These truths I held are lost in the wind
Blown away by arrogant sin
An identity gone and erased
Followed by memories, family
And nothings in place.

Can't move on, can't back down
Trapped in a world I don't belong
Seeking silence so my lies won't go on.
I can't tell you the truth because then you'll be gone
Another hope, another love dissolved
My dream cloud burst from above

I'm hidden behind one solid tear
Lost in a trance, a secret disguise
Lost in conviction, my own little lies
These truths I held are lost in the wind
Blown away by arrogant sin
An identity gone and erased
Followed by memories, family
And nothings in place.

A life down the drain with no one to blame
This past of mine just seems so insane
It pulls me down drowning me with fear
No longer is my good judgment anywhere near
It's not a battle, nor a war
But I can't win unless I open the door

I'm hidden behind one solid tear
Lost in a trance, a secret disguise
Lost in conviction, my own little lies
These truths I held are lost in the wind
Blown away by arrogant sin
An identity gone and erased
Followed by memories, family
And nothings in place

Forgive my wrongs as I turn the key
I hope it's not true, that you won't leave me
The door opens with a creak
My past is there for you to see
Forgive me now, hold me in peace
Let go of all those false realities.
