An Honest Face

Perfection- too good to be true
In a small world
I could never keep up
Nor be truthful

Brought to a fork in the road
Not shown which path
I was misguided and lost
My world was falling apart

Nightmares never scared me
But your dream did

Another day
Just like yesterday
Another dream
Just like a child
Reminding me
I am just me

To keep an honest face
Was her perfect dream
The secrets from within
Was my reality

Longing for a father to trust
Abandoned by him
Chasing long darkened shadows
Only to be alone

No father but a brother
Guiding me through

Another day
Just like yesterday
Another dream
Just like a child
Reminding me
Never to be you

I can't walk in your shoes
I can't fill your void
I tried but failed
I can only be me

I've found happiness
I've found myself
I've dried the tears
My world has been revived

Another day
Just like yesterday
Another dream
Just like a child
Reminding me
Never to be you

Now I am older
And much wiser
I'm free from your dream
Now I am free to live mine
