Testify Lyrics

I've been
Cheating
Myself for too long,
Living
As if
I was going nowhere
And I know it's wrong...
I've been
Fighting
Myself for too long,
I tried
Really tried
To keep my head up high

And I know it's wrong,
And I should really know better
But it's been so long...

I know,
How I feel, but I'm afraid to show it
Inside
It's so real, but no one else would know it
The whole truth, and no lies
Cutting deeper I can hear my soul cry
C'mon, testify
C'mon, testify
I've been
Lying
To myself for too long,
Silence
Was my only comfort
And I know it's wrong
But I can't change the weather
It's been too long...

I know,
How I feel, but I'm afraid to show it
Inside
It's so real, but no one else would know it
The whole truth, and no lies
Cutting deeper I can hear my soul cry
C'mon, testify
C'mon, testify
To the friends that I've lost on the way
To the friends I've been pushing away
You could say that I've made it
But I'm jaded
And inside I'm falling...

I know,
How I feel, but I'm afraid to show it
Inside
It's so real, but no one else would know it
The whole truth, and no lies
Cutting deeper I can hear my soul cry
C'mon, testify
C'mon, testify

I've been
Fighting
Myself for too long

And I've been
Hating
Myself for too long
