"Stop trying so hard"
Is what you said to me,
If you just take off your mask
You hide behind my back
I can see it on your face, a blank slate..
We can feel something's broken
I can't say without hoping.
And when the doors are all closing, it's all bound to get out.
I know that you don't, but when I ask you if you love me...

It don't mean what it did before..
The ground disappears, as I hold back the tears..
"Don't worry baby, you won't be lonely"
I always believed in second chances,
Always believed your sugarcoated words.
But if I can dream long enough, you'll tell me everything will be alright.
I drown it out,
How I always do
Chasing the ghost of you
Problem was, I thought I had this right.
The darkest truth, I can't say it without hoping...
As we fall time is frozen
You said you wanted to go higher, so take the high with the low.
And away we go
The darkest truth, is you.
But not everything is so primitive,
So I'm giving in.
