Dead on the Inside

What a play, what a lie, what a sin
And like a fool I took you in
Where do I begin?
What a shame, what a fake, what a game
You took my heart but yours wouldn't tame
It's getting really lame

So shoot me if I offend you
Slay me; don't pretend anymore

I'm alive
But I'm dead on the inside
I'm falling down to the ground
I'm insane
For the craziness you've slain
Just puts me back in pain

What a guess, what a hope, what a wish
Hoping it wouldn't end like this
I want the perfect
What a charm, what a saint, what a prince
What if I can't handle this?
Cause it's not perfect

So lay me down further
Just slay me; it won't hurt

I'm alive
But I'm dead on the inside
I'm falling down to the ground
I'm insane
For the craziness you've slain
Just puts me back in pain

And I'm the one it names
