I took a look at myself
 I dropped all my defenses
 After fooling myself
 For so long

 I broke all my habits
 I gave up my pretences
 I faced all those things
 So crazy and wrong

 I had reached a point 
 Where I could fall no deeper
 Right there I knew what to do
 Eventually

 I know you thought 
 I was just running away
 But the real escape
 I had made years ago
 Deep inside of me

 Are there just no Forevers in life
 Are they all just illusion
 Just something we build to protect us
 From feeling so lost and lonely

 Would it be wiser to be
 Happy when things are just good
 Instead of yearning for perfection
 That we'll never find most likely

 That advice I have given
 To friends and that so much more
 Applied to myself
 Came back to my mind

 How desperately I must have
 Tried to believe
 That in my own little world
 Things were perfectly right

 I lied to myself
 I despised myself
 I denied myself
 But the pain grew stronger

 I will lie to myself
 I will despise myself
 I will deny myself
 Not one day longer

 Because there is no such thing at all
 At least not for you and me
