then I caught myself, so full of doubt,
trusting no one, just shutting them out.
betrayal haunts me, that's why I'm this way,
spotting the lies, afraid they will stay.
scared it will happen, unable to trust,
holding back love, though I know that I must.
she owes me nothing, he owes me none,
jealousy's wrong, I've no claim on someone.
he's been there long before I came,
yet I'm stuck inside my heart again.

and still, there's no peace, I'm drowning in fear,
worries and jealousy, pain crystal clear.
I love her so much, but it's tearing me down,
oh, God, please help me, I'm starting to drown.
I just want to cry, I just want to scream,
how did I fall? how do I break free?

am I just pitying myself, but why?
she was never mine, never told me a lie.
yet here I am, lost in the storm,
betrayed once again, abandoned, forlorn.
and deep inside, I know it's not her,
but I wish she was near, I wish I could stir
the scent of her skin, the taste of her lips,
the warmth of her body in my fingertips.
but she's not, she's his, she made her choice,
and my heart is torn between love and voice.

and still, there's no peace ...

I'm afraid to tell her, afraid she will run,
she said we could be close, but not like I want.
trapped in the space of what cannot be,
wanting her love, but she won't love me.
she chose him, not me, she's lying with him,
while I stand alone, my chances so slim.
is this my punishment? Is this a test?
how do I rip her out of my chest?
how do I win this war with myself?

and still, there's no peace ...

three in the morning, two hours till dawn,
pretending that nothing is broken or wrong.
and in just a few hours, I'll see her again,
the woman I love, then I caught myself, so full of doubt,
trusting no one, just shutting them out.
betrayal haunts me, that's why I'm this way,
spotting the lies, afraid they will stay.
scared it will happen, unable to trust,
holding back love, though I know that I must.
she owes me nothing, he owes me none,
jealousy's wrong, I've no claim on someone.
he's been there long before I came,
yet I'm stuck inside my heart again.

and still, there's no peace ...
