Mojave - Faultline lyrics

Why can't i just be perfect, then i would be good enough for you, maybe then i'd meet your expectations, maybe then i would not disappoint. why are you afraid of silence, why are you not listening to me, hands behind you the knife is slipping. take me down as i start tripping, trust me, trust me, trust me, trust me, take me down when i'm not looking, turn your back when i reach out to you, maybe i was just too trusting, maybe i wanted this too much. loosen this grip and watch you slip, i know your lies won't break your fall, words that crack can't take them back, you promised me this wouldn't hurt at all. why are you afraid of silence, why are you afraid of silence
