Lyrics:
It’s cold in here again,
You left your window open like this heart inside my chest.
As I sink into this bed, I feel the warmth leaving my breath,
The crooked pictures on these walls must know you best.
But I wouldn’t know.
Your lies speak a thousand truths.
It seems dark but the light’s on,
I second guess but I know you’re headstrong,
You never shy from the deep end,
You’re always here to watch me descend.
Nurture your pretense,
I understand it’s just a defense,
You always jump in the deep end,
You leave me sinking as you leave me condemned.
I’m not much at first glance,
Just another man with an awkward stance
Though you’re never one to dwell on the details
I can’t help thinking that you’ll never get a better chance.
So take my word
There’s many more who would say it worse
And it’s absurd
To know that you’ll end up first.
But I wouldn’t know.
Your lies speak a thousand truths.
It seems dark but the light’s on,
I second guess but I know you’re headstrong,
You never shy from the deep end,
You’re always here to watch me descend.
Nurture your pretense,
I understand it’s just a defense,
You always jump in the deep end,
You leave me sinking as you leave me condemned.
And I won’t lie, I am one to pry
I always knew you’d be the one to flat-line my insides.
I don’t expect nothing more than what is meant
Those crooked pictures speak a story best unsaid.
It seems dark but the light’s on,
I second guess but I know you’re headstrong,
You never shy from the deep end,
You’re always here to watch me descend.
Nurture your pretense,
I understand it’s just a defense,
You always jump in the deep end,
You leave me sinking as you leave me condemned.
It seems dark but the light’s on,
I second guess but I know you’re headstrong,
You never shy from the deep end,
You leave me sinking as you leave me condemned.
