Tell me how do I explain the pain when nobody's there?
Nobody's listening
I'm sorry for what I have done to you

This guilt is killing me

Yes, nervous, very nervous, I have been and am

Contaminated by all this mayhem
Why can't this convince me that what I feel is what is real?


Now take an honest look at the broken man in front of you

Someone help me to believe that this pain isn't real

Don't tell me if it's true, that this lithium...

Never once thought that it could end this way

Giving in to what I thought I'd never do
Unable to define what's true
Confused inside what used to be my mind


Now can you see that the broken man is me?


Someone help me to believe that this pain isn't real
Don't tell me if it's true that this lithium lies
Please help me to believe that this pain isn't real

Don't tell me if it's true that this lithium lies

This whole life is my own stage

I'm the actor in this play
Can't you see it in the way I smile and laugh as if everything's ok?
It's all an act and I do it every day,

But when I'm alone I'm finally backstage screaming and praying for the pain to go away
I know I'm the one to blame for everything I did in vain
My conscience is in chains screaming out your name

Ever since you forgot mine I will never be the same

If only you could see the sorrow in me

You'd wish it all away
It's time to see the truth, that this lithium lies


Someone help me to believe that this pain isn't real
Don't tell me if it's true that this lithium lies
Please help me to believe that this pain isn't real

Don't tell me if it's true that this lithium lies
