The Prank

(album: Take The Pain - 2008)

I stand alone drenched by pouring rain
Or maybe I am soaked from all my tears
With the bloody broken pieces of my heart in my hand
My jaw drops in disbelief at what I hear

I run out of breath
As I feel my skin turn red
Inside I'm in knots
And I'd never have thought they could hurt me like they did

And I will let you know right now
They're slowly tearing down
Everything that we had built
For years now to the ground
With every word behind my back
It's harder to forget all of this regret

And I'm probably a fool to think this would change anything
And I'm probably a fool to think this song could change anything

Denial creeps in
And I find myself making excuses for them
Cause I don't know what else to do
It seems easier than dealing with the truth

With a kiss on the cheek
And a knife in my back
Cutting deeper than I've ever been cut before
My trust has been tied in a brown paper bag
Like a prank that's been left on the step by the door

With a kiss on the cheek
And a knife in my back
Cutting deeper than I've ever been cut before
And my trust is returned in a brown paper bag
Like a prank that's been left on the step by the door

And I will let you know right now
They're slowly tearing down
Everything that we had built
For years now to the ground
With every word behind my back
It's harder to forget all of this regret

And I'm probably a fool to think I could change
And I'm probably a foot to think this song could change anything
