Chained By Deceit

This reality formed with lies is tumbling down
If only I realized, I would have left this town
Everything here is nothing but fake 
Getting to know you was a clear mistake
Scratch that, it was not even you
Who was that person I thought I knew?

All your words were tainted with deceit 
Why couldn't I see the facade I had come to meet?
Whoever was hiding behind that mask all day
Is hidden somewhere far away
Morphing with this disguise on the other side 
Almost as if Jekyll was reuniting with Hyde

Worst part is, I can't let go
I loved the character I'd come to know 
I fell too deep, unable to leave
My heart was ready to take, easy to thieve 
When I discovered this was all a ploy
I still wanted, no, needed that boy 

It's as though I've been wrapped in a chain
That person completely took over my brain
Where did you hide him, I want him back 
Hearing he wasn't real gave me a panic attack
You took him away, damn you to hell
Is this even the truth, I'll never be able to tell
