Always isn't always what it seems

Always in control, finally lost it
Always forgiving, finally forgot
Always acting, finally stopped
Always lying, finally told the truth
Like it or not, this is what you got
Real or fake, do you even care?
Always dreaming, finally woke up
Always falling, finally fell
Always smiling, finally cried
Always wanting, finally accepted
Like it or not, this is what you got
Here or there, did you ever care?
Always seeing what seems to be, finally saw what's really there
Always pretending, finally in reality
Always hearing, finally heard the truth
Always wondering, finally known
Like it or not, this is what you got
Yes or no, is it what you thought?
Always happy, finally bitter
Always talking, finally silent
Always calm, finally angred
Always running away, finally being brave
Like it or not, this is what you got
Up or down, was this how you expected it to turn out?
