I’ve escaped your funhouse mirrors
I’ve seen behind the lie
Discarded your illusions
Just a trick of the eye
I saw what I wanted
I played the perfect fool
Ignored all the signs
The sketchy and the cruel
But you cannot beat me
You cannot keep me down
I will not be ashamed
For failing, falling down
Loving is no mistake
Trust may be abused
I’ll not shut out the hearts ahead
To do that is to lose
I’ve seen behind your masks
With no one left inside
A nesting doll of parts you play
Within which you hide
But I know my part in this
I let myself be led
I wanted the dream to be, so badly
Left my suspicions unsaid
But you cannot beat me
You cannot keep me down
I will not be ashamed
For failing, falling down
Loving is no mistake
Trust may be abused
I’ll not shut out the hearts ahead
To do that is to lose
For every dusk, a dawn
For every tear, a smile
I will persevere, I know
Though it might be a while
The future is opportunity
And now I see it clear
There is no place for you in it
Just Love I will hold dear
There is no place for regret in it
I will not walk in fear
Just Love, I will hold dear.
