lyrics

Verse:
He said I've been living with you
Since I was 17
I don't know how to be
If you know what I mean
I said everything that you just said to me then
Doesn't resonate at all
So I'll just pretend

Chorus:
Mistrust, Heartbreak, Lies
Some things in life don't just end with goodbye
Countless, Hopeless tries
The clarity of your transparent disguise

Verse 2:
The suffocating still air of silent contempt
My stomach just dropped
I knew just what you meant
Sometimes there's no perfect
There is just try
That starts with the pain of knowing you'd lie

Verse 3:
In the quietest night in a deafening room
I felt smoke in my lungs but could not breathe the fumes
I heard your voice speaking a heavy steel shield
How could I break through these walls you've revealed

Chorus:
Mistrust, Heartbreak, Lies
Some things in life don't just end with goodbye
Countless, Hopeless tries
The clarity of your transparent disguise

Verse 4:
This empty shell of hollow regret
Recreating my past of dissapointment
Don't leave me here with the saddest of hearts
It will only mean that I was right from the start

Verse 5:
He said I don't want to hurt you
It's funny just how
We surprise ourselves with just what we allow

Chorus:
Mistrust, Heartbreak, Lies
Some things in life don't just end with goodbye
Countless, Hopeless tries
The clarity of your transparent disguise

Bridge:
The very same walls on which I rely
Serve as the blockade between you and I

Chorus: (Repeat)
Mistrust, Heartbreak, Lies
Some things in life don't just end with goodbye
Countless, Hopeless tries
The clarity of your transparent disguise
