I want to know what it looks like in someone else's eyes
What does it take to fake?
The levee breaks, the beauty in a lie
And compromise before confession
You stole the words, my time, the message
When you're given nothing but goodbye
I can't go home
The Midwest seemed to have a hold on me
Left everyone so disappointed
When we took our chance to leave
Faces of apathy
Sacrificing luck we couldn't bet
And never pay respect to what we left
With open wounds we'll never mend
I want to know what I look like in your eyes
And do my actions hold the weight that you describe?
Can I come to grips with failed accomplishments?
Do you know what it feels like?
How could you know what it feels like?
I've been checking into hospitals and running into funerals wondering if this was ever worth it
And through the trials and the obstacles, I find it hard to see myself and grasp a sense of purpose
I never thought I'd have to do this on my own
I never thought you'd lead my heart astray
And all the patience you've outgrown
I always thought you'd stay
