You killed the flames burning deep down in my soul, you took away my respect and left me feeling cold.

This is one of those country tear jerkers I've written & I hope Ad Readers will enjoy.

I'm Taking Off This False Face


This false face I'm wearing comes off today,
I've been living a lie and my soul I must save.
I promised I'd forgive...your wrongful cheating ways,
can't fake it any longer...it lives with me each day.

As I lay by your side at night, she's lying here too,
I can't get her out of my mind...you know what I have to do.
I thought I could forgive you and promised you my love,
baby, I've been seething and can't find a white dove.

CHORUS:

You killed the flames burning deep down in my soul,
you took away my respect and left me feeling cold.
I thought our love was special...you always told me so,
if your love was so great, why did you have to roam?
You killed the flames burning deep down in my soul,
you took away my respect and left me feeling cold.

It's wrong for me to act like everything's alright,
when in my heart, I want to do everything for spite.
I can't live a lie...It's not the right thing for me or you,
the best thing for me...is to tell you we're through.

Take this ring I'm wearing and trade it in for something new,
give it to the next girl you con into loving you.
I'm not one for breaking promises, but I cannot live a lie,
cause if I live with this false face, I know I will die.

Chorus:

You killed the flame burning deep down in my soul,
you took away my respect and left me feeling cold.
I thought our love was special...you always told me so,
if your love was so great, why did you have to roam?
You killed the flames burning deep down in my soul,
you took away my respect and left me feeling cold.

TAG:

Yes, you killed the flames burning deep down in my soul,
you took away my respect and left me feeling cold.
