Tell me the truth

Verse 1)

My heart is bleeding, paintin' shadows on the floor

I’m standin' in the wreckage, wonderin' what I’m lookin' for

I’m lost inside the labyrinth of all the words you keep

Why won't you tell me the truth before I fall too deep?

Years of quiet torture, yeah, it’s written in the grain

I’m askin' for the ending, I’m askin' for the pain.

(Chorus)

What’s your end goal? Why don't you let me be?

If you're already gone, why won't you set me free?

Go find her in the darkness, leave me in the light

I’ve stood beside you through the cold, through the longest night

Do you hate me 'cause I’m constant? Do you hate me 'cause I’m near?

'Cause I hold on to the pieces, trying to make them disappear.

(Verse 2)

Is freedom all you’re cravin'? Do you even need me there?

Or have we reached the silence where you're gaspin' for the air?

I’m begging for an honest breath, a truth I can believe

I’ll walk away tomorrow if you’d just let me leave

But was our life a fiction? Just a script that you designed?

Was I the vessel for the family that you were scared you wouldn't find?

(Bridge)

How long has this been burnin'? How long the masquerade?

Tell me if it’s real, or just the debt that I have paid

I’m tired of the guessing, I’m tired of the wall

I just want to be free from this, the biggest lie of all.

(Outro)

So tell me if you loved me, or was I just a part

Of a plan you held so tightly, tearing through my heart?

I’m letting go, I’m breaking free, the secret’s in your hands

I’m walking out the door now, leaving all your broken plans.
