Once I Believed

i prove myself wrong
denied reality for far too long
i shudder to think
but it's no surprise at all
i was living in the hope
of a feeling to be shared
that's all i've ever wanted
that's all i've ever dared
now things have changed
attitudes are dearranged
it seems that it's uncool
to say what you feel
once i believed
in respect, trust and loyality
this was what used to be
it always made sense to me
there's nothing left
the flame's gone in their eyes
no one seems to care
or is willing to share
just choose to ignore
and comfort in shallow lies
clutching at straws
drowning in their own disguise
once i believed
in respect, trust and loyality
this was what used to be
it always made sense to me
once i believed
in honor, faith and dignity
this was what used to be
but nothing makes sense to me
...makes sense to me
i look at you
i look at me
and hold back all i want to say
it's so hard to betray... yourself!

...so hard
...so hard
...so hard to betray
...myself!
once i believed
in me!
