until you, messiah, took my mom's strength away
she never recovered and neither did i
she's been gone a long time but i still cry
i so vividly recall praying so hard
thinking that you'd grant the desire of my heart
just like the movies i counted on you
oh it hurts to learn that movies ain't true
unlike the movies, she never stood up
you gave her another year,should i thank you for that?
i promised myself not to question you anymore
but what happened was not like the movies at all
"ask and you shall receive"- oh is that really true?
how come i didn't get what i was asking from you?
not like the movies,there was no shining light
and not like the movies you were nowhere in sight
life is a play and the world's a stage
we are but actors, your entertainment slaves
and the truth hit me hard like slamming on a wall
what you are preaching ain't like the movies at all...
