She can't hide no matter how hard she tries
Her secret diguise behind the lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight
Starin' at her inside

All her friends know why she can't sleep at night
All her family askin' if she's alright
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell
Well all shes gotta do is stop kidding herself

She can only fool herself for so long
She can only fool herself for so long
She can only fool herself for so long
(im too weak to face me)
She can only fool herself

I never know
Just why you run
So far away, far away
From me
I never know
Just why you run
So far away, far away
From me

When it comes to how to live his life he cant be told
Says he's got it all control
Thinks he knows not a problem he's stuck with
But in reality
It would be a problem to just quit
An addict; and he cant hold the reins
The pain is worse 'cause his friends have it the same
Tries to slow down the problem he's got
But can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop

He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself for so long
(I'm too weak to face me)
He can only fool himself

Chorus
