you can wear the mask. you can live in the lie.
it works for a while.
it holds you until it doesn't.
You both burn out.
when they're gone
there you'll be.
rain or shine. pain or peace.
if it breaks me, it breaks me.
the version of me
that went in and never came back.
I didn't really know it
The damage that it caused I used to try and hide it With everything I could.
[Pre Chorus]
The last time that I made excuses, The last time that I swallowed truth, The last time that I dimmed my light, To make a broken thing feel right.
[Chorus]
Betrayal will close doors that apologies can't reopen.
How fucking deep is that.
Who am I without the tears I turned into a fucking joke?
because sometimes the only way to save your life is to ruin the life
you were calling living.
I stare into the mirror
a being incomplete
that's what it shows
I see broken pieces damaged reflection a chaotic mess...
me filled with limerence.
[Verse]
When I close my eyes
It brings a darkness Not silence or a still
But there's a feeling, a sickness
let the old version break. let it fall apart loudly enough to wake you.
I cannot vibe with uncertainty.
I need people who are clear about their feelings, honest about their intentions, and confident in how they show up in my life. If someone is unsure about me, I will choose peace and walk away rather than sit in confusion.
[Pre Chorus]
The last time that I made excuses, The last time that I swallowed truth, The last time that I dimmed my light, To make a broken thing feel right.
[Chorus]
Betrayal will close doors that apologies can't reopen.
How fucking deep is that.
Who am I without the tears I turned into a fucking joke?
because sometimes the only way to save your life is to ruin the life
you were calling living.
I stare into the mirror
a being incomplete
that's what it shows
I see broken pieces damaged reflection a chaotic mess...
me filled with limerence.
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre Chorus]
The last time that I made excuses, The last time that I swallowed truth, The last time that I dimmed my light, To make a broken thing feel right.
[Chorus]
Betrayal will close doors that apologies can't reopen.
How fucking deep is that.
Who am I without the tears I turned into a fucking joke?
because sometimes the only way to save your life is to ruin the life
you were calling living.
I stare into the mirror
a being incomplete
that's what it shows
I see broken pieces damaged reflection a chaotic mess...
me filled with limerence.
