Betraying Me (original)

Em/C7
There's a war inside me
I fight it every day
Do I listen to sound reasoning
Or do I listen to emotion
Consciously I know my reality is distorted
I feel like a prisoner in my own body

Being me is torture most days
The days it's not, I know it's a lie
Feelings overwhelm me, consume me
And knock me to the ground

C/G/D
It feels so real
As real as the sky is blue
I spend every ounce of energy fighting it
Until I can't fight it anymore

Em/C/G/D
I know that the best art
Is the stuff that comes straight from my heart
But the feelings inside me are destroying me
My emotions are betraying me
And I can't live this way

I try to explain it
But no one understands
I'm so alone, so frustrated
Because I just can't make it make sense
So quick to tell me I should keep it under control
It can't be that bad, I'm just over dramatic

Rationally I know it's all in my head
My day to day is spent telling myself
That what I feel real isn't true or right
And if it works that way for the mad and the sad
Then how can I trust excitement and joy

Am/C/G/D
She hurt me
I know she hurt me
But as long as my emotions betray me
Will I know for sure
I love him
I know I love him
But as long as my emotions betray me
Will I know for sure

There's a war inside of me
I fight it every day
I feel like a prisoner in my own body

You have some great songs. First time I've seen anyone include the chords with the lyrics. Thanks.

Good video. The blue color captures the emotions of this song.

[wolfbracker]

@sarahlacroixmusic You can always tell him, you have a lot of other songs without the echo if, it really bothered him. LOL.

[sarahlacroixmusic]

@wolfbracker Thank you! Some dude commented on Facebook saying that I should have backed off the echo... I think he kind of missed the point of the song. The echo and the black and white is there for artistic reasons.

[wolfbracker]

I knew you were a great and awesome singer, from when I first saw your videos, but wow! You really knocked this one out of the ballpark! Great use of black and white, it really added to the feeling of the song.

[sarahlacroixmusic]

@miranda746 Thank you! I'm honored.

[miranda746]

Made me cry. Beautiful.

[sarahlacroixmusic]

@jimmymac30 Thank you so much! Some days when I see old videos of mine, it's hard to believe how far I've come.

[sarahlacroixmusic]

@Balboa515 Thank you so much! That means a lot to me!

[Balboa515]

The best art definitely comes from the heart. And this is by far my favorite original composition of yours.

[jimmymac30]

Hey Sarah, real good song and performance, and the recording is excellent as well. Your voice always displays a lot of emotion. Your musicianship and technique have come a long way from when I first saw you a few years back. Well done!

[sarahlacroixmusic]

@cbfall Thank you so much!

[cbfall]
