00:30For a while I was rough

00:48But lately I've been doing better

00:51Than the last four cold Decembles I recall

00:57And I see my family every month

01:02I found a girl my parents loved

01:06She'll come and stay the night

01:09And I think I might have it all

01:12And I thank God every day

01:17For the girl he sent my way

01:20But I know the things he gives me

01:24He can't take away

01:26And I hold you every night

01:31And that's a feeling I wanna get used to

01:35There's no girl as terrified

01:40There's no girl who stands to lose you

01:45Oh, I hope I don't lose you

01:50Please stay

02:37It's been a while but I'm finding my faith

02:40If everything's good and it's great

02:43Why do I sit and wait till it's gone

02:46Oh, I tell you I know I've got love

02:51I've got peace and I've got love

02:55But I'm up at night thinking I just might

06:46You said you were sober

07:07So I'll let you come over

07:12Your words put me close

07:17But your words fucked me over

07:22I kept on denying

07:28So you kept on trying

07:33You went too far for closure

07:38Too far fucked me over

07:43I could just lie

07:47And say it's okay

07:50When I wanna rip all the doors off this place

07:55Set it on fire

07:58And just walk away

08:00So I can feel anything else but this way

08:06Cause I let you in

08:10When I needed space

08:13And you crossed the line

08:15And when I pushed you away

08:17How could you?

08:22How could you?

08:30You are more than a grant

08:33You've convinced yourself I'll let you

08:39A better version of me

08:43Never met you

08:45And never let you in my bedroom

08:49Oh, these shitty lines

08:53And cookie blinds

08:55And cheap red wine stains

08:57Threatened suicide

08:58To change my mind

09:00And keep me afraid

09:02You want me to lie

09:07And say it's okay

09:10When I wanna rip all the doors off this place

09:16Set it on fire

09:18And just walk away

09:21So I can feel anything else but this way

09:26Cause I let you in

09:30When I needed space

09:33And you crossed the line

09:35When I pushed you away

09:38How could you?

09:42How could you?

09:45How could you?

09:45I once loved her lie

09:54Cause she knew my name

09:59Would rewrite stories

10:05And make me to blame

10:09How could you?

10:15When I wake up in the morning

10:39And I watch you leave

10:42Always pretending that I'm fast asleep

10:49I'm living in the middle of the in-between

10:57What you think you want

11:02And what you think you need

11:05I wonder if you'll never be who you are

11:13Or will you keep on lying

11:16Till we fall apart

11:19If you keep on keeping it in the dark

11:25It's gonna kill itself

11:28Before it even starts

11:31I guess I'm getting used to the silence

11:35Cause you're never gonna say my name

11:39I guess we're gonna get by hiding

11:43Can only hope I'm worth that walk on safe

11:47If I see you tomorrow

12:06No, I won't forget

12:08To pretend you're someone I've never met

12:15To pretend you're someone I've never met

12:15Till the night falls down

12:18And you're back in my bed

12:21Oh, shut my eyes

12:24And count until ten

12:26I guess I'm getting used to the silence

12:31Cause you're never gonna sing my name

12:35I guess we're gonna get by hiding

12:38Can only hope I'm worth that walk on safe

12:43Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

13:13I'm always pretending that I'm fast asleep

13:23I'm living in the middle of the embers leave

13:30What you think you want and what you know you need

13:43What you think you want and what you know you need

13:51I'm always pretending that I'm happy

13:53I believe I'm happy

13:55I'm happy

13:57I believe I'm happy

13:59I need me
