It's the truth not the lies that'll hurt the ones we love
So I tried my best to be good enough
Can somebody tell me if this is really happening?
If you care enough to save me, I won't let this define me
With love blind eyes things seem fine…
Until they grow tired of staring into the light
(I wish someone would tell me, if this is really happening
If you care enough to save me, i won't let this define me.)
Your love takes on the shape of suffering and silently I wish that I was anybody but me
Your wraith
Well trained eyes find that things are not alright
It's no surprise that I got so good at f**ing up
(I wish someone would tell me this isn't really happening
No one came to save me. I can't let this define me.)
There's times when I pretend you never made it home
When I take my time I can make things seem fine…
Because I got tired of hiding you from the ones I love
(…at least I thought I did.)
We thought we had it all
The only thing we own is what we can give
If we can't forgive then we'll never know how far we've really come
You're not a slave, to your past
You're not a slave
