Tell me how it feels to live a lie Tell me do you know that it won't ever be the same You can't deny, the house of cards just hit the floor Don't tell me you can save it in the end There's nothing you can do 'Cause when it's gone, you know it won't come back again But you don't listen anymore You're addicted to pain Too blind to see you're lost in the shadows So addicted to face In time you're gonna lose it all If only I had said this long ago If only I had found a way to tell you all the things you should've known But you were lost right from the start How the hell are you the one to blame You've done no wrong, you gave it all So why the hell did you have to change You broke your back, she broke your heart You're addicted to pain Too blind to see you're lost in the shadows So addicted to face In time you're gonna lose it all Cry out You're nowhere now She sold you out You're gonna lose it all Cry out You're nowhere now Just tear it down You're gonna lose it all You're addicted to pain Too blind to see you're lost in the shadows So addicted to face In time you're gonna lose it all You're addicted to pain Sometimes it seems like nothing else matters You're too addicted to face In time you're gonna lose it all Cry out You're nowhere now In time you're gonna lose it all Cry out You're nowhere now You don't live it anymore Cry out You're nowhere now In time you're gonna lose it all Cry out You're nowhere now You don't live it anymore
