Eve
Asking Alexandria Lyrics

You think everything's perfect? Silly girl
You believe everything is perfect despite things being awry in your life.

There's so much wonder here right in front of your eyes
There are many admirable things that you fail to appreciate around you.

What could it hurt?
There is no harm in seeking new experiences or knowledge.

What's wrong with you?
There is something wrong with why you are not able to see the truth.

Who the fuck is he?
The person you thought you knew is not who he appears to be.

Why can't you know?
You are not supposed to know the secrets this person holds because he doesn't want to share them with you.

The walls came down and the heavens opened
Your world is shattered, and the truth is out for all to see.

It's too late to claim your innocence once the trust is broken
Once the trust is broken, you cannot undo it.

It was just a little taste, it was so sweet
The experience of learning the truth was sweet, but it was not worth it in the end.

You couldn't imagine in your wildest dreams
You had no idea of the reality of the situation.

You had to taste it, reach out and take it
You had to experience the truth for yourself to believe it.

For just a second consider
Think for a moment about your actions.

Why a man who cares so much would keep something so simple, from someone so innocent
Why would a person who cares about you hide something so simple from you, knowing that you were innocent?

Maybe he wants it all for himself
Perhaps he desires to keep all the happiness for himself.

'Cause he thinks you don't deserve to feel all the joys that he feels, that you'll never feel
He thinks that you don't deserve to feel the same joys that he does.

Ask yourself why does he give you less when he takes more
Question why he takes more from you than he gives.

Ask yourself how being free is being locked inside these walls
Reflect on whether you are truly free when you are trapped within these walls of secrets.

Maybe you're weak, or a mistake, or too emotional
He may have told you that you are weak, a mistake, or too emotionally destabilized to cope with the truth.

Maybe you're not good enough for his world, maybe you never were
It's possible that you are not good enough to be in his world.

He'll never know, I'll never tell
Nobody else needs to know the secrets you've learned.

You deserve to be free
You deserve to know the truth and be free from the burden of living with secrets.

You have my word, damn me to hell
I guarantee that what I'm telling you is the truth.

The walls came down and the heavens opened
The truth is out, and you can finally see things for what they truly are.

It's too late to claim your innocence once the trust is broken
You can't claim to be innocent once you've lost someone's trust.

It was just a little taste, it was so sweet
The initial sweetness of the truth was fleeting.

You couldn't imagine in your wildest dreams
You had no concept of what was going on behind the scenes.

You had to taste it, reach out and take it
You had to learn about the truth for yourself to believe it.
