Verse 1
I’m caught up in a web of lies,
Feelings I can’t make true,
How do you look at someone
And say, “I don’t love you”?
I tried to fight it, push it down,
Tried to make it fade away,
But the truth don’t know how to whisper,
It eats at me every day.
Pre-Chorus
I smile and play my part,
But it’s heavier than it seems,
Every quiet moment
Is louder than my screams.
Chorus
So do I tell the truth and free us both tonight,
Or keep pretending everything’s alright?
Do I break us clean, or break him slow,
Living in a lie I already know?
The truth might hurt, but it won’t stay gone…
And I’m tired of holding on.
Verse 2
My mouth refuses to say the words,
They get stuck before they start,
But my eyes keep telling stories
I can’t hide inside my heart.
You reach for me, I pull away,
Like I’m already halfway gone,
I hate the way this silence
Keeps dragging us along.
Pre-Chorus 2
I don’t want to be the reason
Your world falls apart,
But staying here pretending
Is already breaking your heart.
Chorus
So do I tell the truth and free us both tonight,
Or keep pretending everything’s alright?
Do I break us clean, or break him slow,
Living in a lie I already know?
The truth might hurt, but it won’t stay gone…
And I’m tired of holding on.
Bridge (soft, stripped down)
If the truth will set me free,
Then why can’t I let it out?
I rehearse it in my head
But my voice just gives me doubt.
So look into my eyes and see
What I’m too afraid to say…
I never meant to hurt you,
But my love just faded away.
Final Chorus (emotional lift)
So I’ll tell the truth and free us both tonight,
Even if it shatters what we had inside.
I won’t fake forever when I know I’m wrong,
I can’t keep pretending just to keep you strong.
I’m sorry this is how it ends…
But loving you would be a lie again.
Outro
I’m sorry to tell you this, but
My love…
Just faded away… away
