A Hundred Deaths

You've been talking in your sleep, saying things that make me weep
I've been walking in your shadow for so long I'm in too deep
You drown yourself in someone that will be your mama's pet
And hypnotize yourself to thinking you have no regrets
Don't you know that one day soon you'll wake up and you'll see
That you would throw it all away just to be with me

Simon says, "Don't look back, just forget about your past"
Make yourself believe that things with me would never last
Promises were made but they don't mean a thing
It's easy if you want to settle for a diamond ring
Nothing could prepare me for what I went through
I died a hundred deaths just because of you

Death by devastation
Death by intoxication
Death by false allegations
Death by humiliation

I rise up from the ashes, it's a brand new day
The twinkle's back in my eye, this time it's here to stay
Nothing could be worse but I got through
You know I died a hundred deaths all because of you

Death by desperation
Death by apprehension
Death by false accusations
Death by alienation

Death by emancipation
Death by pontification
Death by no communication
Death by your revelation
