I’m getting smaller everyday Shrinking by the hour And when I am gone from your life Will you miss me? We lie, we cheat, and steal Love we live to deceive We risk we chance we feel Things hard to believe I am the smoke you brush away With the hand that touched me The ambience and the mood And you seek to be free We lie, we cheat, and steal Love we live to deceive We risk we chance we feel Things hard to believe The thoughts the notions the drive Never cease to amaze This life creates the prize, the highs Dreams within my waking day We find we claim we take, we wake The soul that makes us alive We hurt we’re lost we seek to save We fight refuse to die. You broke I choked the heart that bleeds Within my heaving grieving chest And with your guarded walls you crushed You squeezed you pulled you pressed I prayed I cried expressed, confessed That you would my bride no less Stubborn you, act the fool, I digress The fears compressed I rest. We lie, we cheat, and steal Love we live to deceive We risk we chance we feel Things hard to believe Longing hurting desire To taste what makes us ache We are drawn to the fire Pulled by the things we crave. The things hard to believe.
