Intro

Verse 1

The air that you breathe it must be poison

And you're dressed up in your best disguise

Bridge 1

 I don't want to hear what you have to say

 It's there in your eyes when you look away

 These beautiful words are turning into lies

Chorus 1

How can you say that to me

Verse 2

The light that still shines is just an illusion

Just a memory from a burned out star

Bridge 2

 Its promise has come from so far away

 It's fighting through sadness and years of decay

Oh and it's a wonder it ever made it this far

Chorus 2

 Well now how can you say that to me

 After all of those secrets you let me believe

 There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe

 Well now how can you say that

Bridge 3

It's not this silence that screams in my mind

 Each day I feel like I'm falling behind

 Living in shadows, still getting burned

 When will I ever learn

Chorus 3

 Well now how can you say that to me

 After all of those secrets you let me believe

 There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe

 Well now how can you say that to me
