The air that you breathe it must be poisoned
And you're dressed up in your best disguise
And I don't want to hear what you have to say

It's there in your eyes when you look away
These beautiful words are turning into lies


[Chorus:]
How can you say that to me


The light that still shines is just an illusion
It's just a memory from a burned out star
Its promise has come from so far away

It's fighting through sadness and years of decay
And it's a wonder it ever made it this far


[Chorus]

After all of those secrets you let me believe

There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe
Oh now how can you say that


It's not this silence that screams in my mind
Each day I feel like I'm falling behind
Living in shadows, still getting burned

When will I ever learn

[Chorus]


After all those secrets you let me believe
There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe

How can you say that to me
