[Verse 1]
I tire of words that promise nothing
Polished smooth but hollow through
Every sentence wears a borrowed answer
Every smile avoids the truth
Behind the glass, behind the usernames
A hundred faces disappear
They type the things they’d never tell me
Then call the distance sincere
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need another comfort
I don’t need a careful excuse
Say it plain, stand in the open
Give me something I can use
[Chorus]
Tell me what you mean
Tell me what is true
No more false people
Hiding behind the blue
No more borrowed hopes
No more words that bend
If you’re leaving, say you’re leaving
If you’re here, then don’t pretend
[Verse 2]
I tire of hands that reach for nothing
Pull away when I reach back
I tire of promises with deadlines
And apologies that leave a crack
False hopes arrive dressed up as mercy
They keep the wound from closing clean
I’d rather take the honest silence
Than another lie dressed as a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need another comfort
I don’t need a careful excuse
Say it plain, stand in the open
Give me something I can use
[Chorus]
Tell me what you mean
Tell me what is true
No more false people
Hiding behind the blue
No more borrowed hopes
No more words that bend
If you’re leaving, say you’re leaving
If you’re here, then don’t pretend
[Bridge]
Cut the lights on every answer
Let the empty room stay bare
I can live with what is broken
I can’t live with what’s not there
[Final Chorus]
Tell me what you mean
Tell me what is true
No more false people
Hiding behind the blue
No more borrowed hopes
No more words that bend
If you’re leaving, say you’re leaving
If you’re here, then don’t pretend
[Outro]
Just say what you mean
Just say what is true
I’m tired of pretending
I’m done pretending too
