What Lies Beneath Lyrics

Cover art for What Lies Beneath lyrics by Breaking Benjamin

This song reminds me of my relationship with my ex-boyfriend. We had an on-off relationship. With each cycle things got worse. He was truly the "devil in disguise". The last time I slept with him I was traumatized by emotional abuse and immobalized and completely controlled by him. In this state he used me for sex which juristically wasn't rape, but it felt like it. The line "as I lie underneath your cold-jaded eyes" hits hard for me. He went completely cold and didn't treat me like a person that night. This is "when love dies in the end". I suffer from PTSD now...and "I will always be here for the rest of my life". Sadly, even years later he tries to play mind games with me through online attacks and common friends. This song is like I wrote it. I will forever be grateful to Breaking Benjamin for this song since it helps me to process things.
