I've played off devastation I told you it didn't mean that much but this world keeps on closing in on me whenever we fall out of touch it's those subtle differences keeping up appearances for what? it gets the best of me sometimes it's better not to know I've tried so many times to tell you how I feel but forever's such a long, long time
and this apology's for real now there's a time and a place for saving face there's a time when it's all too much through the hardest times through the thick and thin I've always played it off and kept my grin but this life's too short to waste on pride this is the time and the place for me to clean up my side
