I stand behind these lies While I fall apart inside There's no one to tell me why Did I ever close my eyes to see? Colours seem to fade To this melancholy state Who says what am I to change? Did I ever take the time to breathe? Can you keep me in the dark And never let me see The light can be so much worse And I feel it slip away One last good memory Our time has come and gone I'm fading away * A little bit closer To that moment I'm standing next to you But I know How this story will unfold A little bit farther Till I'm caught up To what I'm running from But I know the end It always ends with you Try to hold onto the pain The one thing that won't change It's keeping me grounded And the one reality Starts slipping away And crumbles all around me I'm fading away *repeat I stand behind these lies While I fall apart inside There's no one to tell me why Did I ever close my eyes to see? Colours seem to fade To this melancholy state Who says what am I to change? A little bit closer To that moment I'm standing next to you But I know How this story will unfold A little bit jaded Can't take it There's only one way out So I know the end It always ends with you
