You run around life like an actress on the big screen
Then you wake the next morning and silently scream
No matter how many people you can fool with your on-stage glory
When all the seats are empty, isn't it the same old true story?
It's a true story
I can't live life that way
All I have is my own truth at the end of the day
I can't be so worried
With what other people choose to see
All I have is my own truth
All I have is my own truth and that's where I want to be
I've always believed
That an innocent heart will never feel condemned
And an honest man don't worry
About the thoughts of he, she, they or them
No matter how many people you can fool with the trophies that you keep
Isn't it these voices of truth
In the quiet of the night that won't let you sleep?
No, they won't let you sleep
I can't live life that way
All I have is my own truth at the end of the day
I can't be so worried
With what other people choose to see
All I have is my own truth
All I have is my own truth and that's where I want to be
You paint the lies so pretty so people just can't see
You paint the pain so pretty so people just can't see
You paint the hate so pretty so people just can't see
You paint the fire so pretty so people just can't see
Can't you see you'll never burn me
No, you'll never burn me again
This time, I'm not falling for the same old line
Not the same old lie
You'll paint it all so pretty, paint it all you want
You'll paint the fire so pretty, come on paint that fire all around me
But can't you see deep down within
You'll never burn me, you'll never burn me again
Never again
