i've been practicing all day
now the words i meant to say are gone
i promised that i wouldn't cry
told myself i had to try and hold on
the truth, i lied
i hate myself inside
and why
i played the game and paid the price
[01:42.65

i've been wide awake all night
there's no sign of sleep
inside my mind
the headlight shadows scan my wall
i convince myself
you'll call in time
the truth, i lied
the girl in me has died
and why
i played the game and paid the price
i never look back...
this time i will be yours completely
this time i'll make sure
you don't hate me
this time i know,
this time i can and this time
i will
i never look back...
i've been practicing all day
now the words i meant
to say are gone.
