When everything that makes you who you are is ripped away, you are nothing

When everything that makes you who you are is ripped away, you are nothing.
"When everything was meant to be broken, I just want you to know who I am."

Pretty little words from a voice misled
Whispering what should never have been said.
Pretty little lies in pretty little heads
"If you can't trust yourself, trust me instead."

When everything that makes you who you are...

Friends, family, boyfriend, pet
Laughing, joking, never forget
Pretty little lies planting future regret

"I need them so much, I'm in their debt."

...is ripped away...

Family, friends, boyfriend, pet
Moving on, leaving, dumped, dead
All your fault – the lie you've been fed
"If you can't trust yourself, trust me instead."

...you are nothing.

Emptiness in pretty little heads
Despair, suppressed with pretty little meds
All alone, empty, nowhere to head
"If you can't trust yourself, trust me instead."

When everything was meant to be broken...

Everything a lie, pretty little lies
Nothing lasts forever, emptiness inside
Preordained pain, broken-hearted pride
"If you can't trust anyone, run away...hide."

...I just want you to know who I am...

Remaining strength, flowing free
Back to recreate the broken heartbeat
Never to surrender, die, or flee

Power, unknowingly...pressing replay, repeat

...who I am...

Pretty little lies from a voice misled
Whispering what should never have been said.
Pretty little lies flying in a pretty little head
"If you can't trust yourself, trust me instead."

When everything that makes you who you are is ripped away, you are nothing.
"When everything was meant to be broken, I just want you to know who I am."

A/N: I edited this so many times – and then accidentally posted the UNedited draft. You can bet I wasn't very happy about that, but here is the new improved version now…and I really worked on it, so please, please, PLEASE review.
