I can't fight this feeling, its creeping in again
You say that you're leaving me, that's when it begins
Ya played with the innocent, so easily taken in
Now I'm a harlequin, wearing a painted grin
Stripped of my honesty now I'm naked and exposed
Lying here in the dark like a wolf in sheep's clothes
Ya take what I'm offering the rest of me disposed
I bask in the afterglow, of your pitiful cameo
But now I see what you're made of, ya turn away from your tainted love
I just can't go on without you
Ya rolled the dice and I played your game
I've only got myself to blame, I just can't go on without you
I'm barley breathing without you
These cracks in my armor, let my feelings show
Was flying so high on your love but now I'm sinking low
What do you want from me, what do you propose, heaven only knows
And that's how the story goes
I'm selling my smile, but deep inside, I hear what you're telling me
But I know that you're lying
You turn away cause you won't look me in the eye
So I draw the line, I know I'll be just fine
So I stand my ground and stake my claim
I'm drawn to you like a moth to a flame, gonna go on without you
I consume your love, it's my shame, I run to you when you call my name
I gotta move on without you, I can't keep on running back to you
I cling to your edges, but I'm barely holding on
Like a piece on a chess board, ya move me like a pawn, a sacrifice paly in the night
I wake up at the dawn, by then you'll be gone and I'll try to carry on
So I turn around, walk out that door, you can't hurt me anymore
I'm gonna make it without you, seduce my soul and steal my heart
Now you'll play a brand new part, a work of fiction penned by you
So turn the page reveal the end, so you won't feel my love again
The final chapters just for you, reclaim my heart and set it free
You just ain't good enough for me, honey my heart still beating without you
It goes on beating without you, keeps on beating without you
