How many reasons do I have left inside? nYou leave me to tend my wounds nDreams are broken in times of silence nWords no longer find a truth nnCan you see it again? nCan you even pretend? nnHow many times must I hold back my tears nBefore you leave me with no pride? nBroken dreams that just wont mend nA lifetime before my eyes nnLeave me here, I don't see you nI no longer hide nDreams are just memories nMy skin is thicker this time nnMy sense of self, now smothered by your lies nThe years have worn me down nWhat reason can I try to find nTo tell myself it's alright? nnCan you see it again? nCan you even defend? nnLeave me here I don't see you nI no longer hide nDreams are just memories nMy skin is thicker this time
