[Verse 1]
Coat on the chair
Smile in the glass
Jokes on my tongue
Truth in a flask
Hands in my pockets
Nails in my palm
Laughing too loudly
Begging for calm
[Chorus]
You see this easy grin
You think you know my song
But every word I spin
Is just to string you along
I keep the darkest parts
Tucked where your eyes won’t reach
You hear the mask I keep on
You never hear me
[Verse 2]
Keys find a pattern
Same three lies
Candle’s gone crooked
Wax in my eyes
Your hand on my shoulder
Says
“I get you”
I nod at the ceiling
Praying that’s true
[Chorus]
You see this easy grin
You think you know my song
But every word I spin
Is just to string you along
I keep the darkest parts
Tucked where your eyes won’t reach
You hear the mask I keep on
You never hear me
[Bridge]
What if I cracked
Right here
Right now (oh)
Let the stitches slip
Let it all spill out
Would you still stay
When the story bends
When the stranger in my skin
Steps out again
[Chorus]
You see this easy grin
You think you know my song
But every word I spin
Is just to string you along
I keep the darkest parts
Tucked where your eyes won’t reach
You hear the mask I keep on
You never hear me
You hear the mask I keep on
You never hear me
