Lyrics for Beautiful Lie

I don't belong to you So don't tell me what to do Sick of the feeling, I'm lying here bleeding while you slither over what's mine I am the power, wake up, say it louder, it's time I don't wanna live my life Feeding off a beautiful lie Baby, this is your war But it's killing the both of us Baby, this is your war I don't belong to you No one can change the truth Don't be afraid of the monster you've made when what goes around does come around Your words have no meaning, is that why you're screaming so loud? I don't wanna live my life Feeding off a beautiful lie Baby, this is your war But it's killing the both of us Sick, sick, sick, your mind Take the bait, refuse to wake And all this time I've wasted waiting on you When the only way out was ever through Sick of all your lies, time to realize You got lost in the game and you lost your mind So sick of everything I'm drowning underneath And it's all up to you if you want to choose to waste your life But you can't have mine I don't belong to you I don't wanna live my life Feeding off a beautiful lie Maybe I'm not the one Maybe this will never be enough (I don't wanna live my life) Choking on a beautiful lie Baby, this is your war But it's killing the both of us
