The Rival Within

I spilled out my heart
For you to consume
And there in the dark
The denial, it loomed
You stared at the floor, and tried to ignore

You couldn't believe
A word that I spoke
The truth can deceive
In the absence of hope
The fate that you fear
You pull it so near

Well, if you could see
What is hiding beneath
This invisible mask on your skin

Then maybe one day
You could wake up and say
Goodbye to the rival within

The girl in the mirror
A stranger these days
Reflecting your fears
Distorting your face
Alone in the dark, the beauty departs

You won't take a chance
For fear of defeat
For every advance
A thousand retreats
The sheep lost her flock
So she runs to the fox

If you could see
What is hiding beneath
This invisible mask on your skin

Maybe one day
You could wake up and say
Goodbye to the rival within

If you could see
What is hiding beneath
This invisible mask on your skin

Then maybe one day
You could wake up and say
Goodbye to the rival within

If you could see
What is hiding beneath
This invisible mask on your skin

Maybe one day
You could wake up and say
Goodbye to the rival within
