Behind The Shadows Songtext

von Under Heaven

With but a word ~ so absurd
How you can cut me to the bone
Feeling betrayed ~ still I’ve stayed
When all this time I should have known

You manipulate and you calculate
All the ways to hurt everyone you hate
Every lesson learned every time you’re burned
And you just ignore every scar you’ve earned
Cover up your lies with your alibis
Even though I see venom in your eyes
Thinking I don’t know just how far you’ll go
With the games you play ~ now it’s over so

Don’t pretend you care ~ I know what I’ll find
I see what’s behind the lies

Sharpen your blade ~ so afraid
That I will find what’s underneath
Plan your attack ~ stab my back
Then hide the truth behind your teeth

All the rules you make ~ any chance you take
Let’s you justify any trust you break
Always wanting more ~ always keeping score
Any open hand is an open door
Every step you gain ~ you just ascertain
It’s another chance to inflict your pain
But it stops today ~ I refuse to stay
And I don’t believe anything you say

Don’t pretend you care ~ I know what I’ll find
I see what’s behind the lies

In your words I see the truth in the haze
And through the shadows your heart betrays

And so now I see you could never be
What it really means to be friends with me
Nothing left to show for your actions so
This is now the end and I let you go

Don’t pretend you care ~ I know what I’ll find
I see what’s behind the shadows and the lies
Don’t pretend I care if you’re left behind
You know I’ll just find your lies
