He cloaks his tears, disguises his fears
The man he was has disappeared
He sleeps alone, his restless mind is overgrown
Some used to call him father

Seven years since he held his son
Time is the cruelest thing

But his ex-wife has found a new life
Now he drinks away his future longing for a broken past
And he knows the only one to blame is him

We say too much, we don't listen
Is this all we are?
We drink too much, we don't do enough until it's too late

She is too polite, and out of spite they walk all over her
She prays all night, her hands pressed so tight
Comfort in a blind faith

Five years since anyone touched her
Touched her with her consent

She's too scared to live her life
She's too scared to make mistakes and new regrets so she just hides
But she knows the only one she's hiding from is her

We live a lie then we wonder why?
Is this all we are?
We hurt those we love 'til they've had enough & then it's too late

Is this all we are?
