I gave it all for the sake of the ones that I loved more…
“I gave it all for the sake of the ones that I loved more than anything. Day after day, night after night, I saw them shining bright. I gave it all for a scene and a dream that I still believe in. I saw them rising up, and then they said it was not enough. Everything I'd come to love had turned against me. In a moment, I'd been made into the enemy. The enemy of those that claimed that they were with me. I'd been cast out of the place I once belonged. Hated by the world, betrayed and abandoned. Hated by the world; all alone, I was standing there, Hated by the world, rejected. Hated by the world, I lost it all. Hated by the world. I saw them rising up, and then they said it was not enough. Slander turned their hearts against me. O, how quickly lies become the truth. Broken and betrayed, bleeding heart on display; With no one left to listen, and nothing left to say. Broken and betrayed, bleeding heart on display. With no one left to listen, and nothing left to say.”
