---

There's an empty feeling deep inside

Forever yearning, never seem to find a way

And sometiemes I need to run and hide

And leave the darkness cast astray

PRE-CHORUS 1:

Try to tell myself I'm still holding on

To all the dreams inside, though they never seemed quite real

Now pain has clouded distant memories

Salted wounds that just won't heal

CHORUS:

Life is a lie - everything I thought I knew is gone

Hard to face another day

Life is a lie - all I ever wanted was the truth...

And in knowledge some may find their peace

But sometimes wisdom can turn upon its own

Find a truth that some should never see

A fool's reward, and better left unknown

PRE-CHORUS 2:

Tried to tell myself I'm still holding on

To all the dreams despite I know they're just not real

Nothing left for me but memories

Nothing left for me to feel

REPEAT CHORUS

SOLO: LT

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS 2
