Lyrics:

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
