The Sickness

歌詞

We had it all We had a way of speaking, all to us We had a way of being in love It was the only thing I knew for sure And now, everything's a mystery The sickness came in like a freight train And swept us up into small towns The curfews pushed us to sundown And we were caught in two places I, I had to watch it fall apart from here You had to watch it disappear And now, no matter what we say or do, it's clear Our wilderness, now sober A newness on the land A wetness indebted to all these tears And the hardest part, pretending nothing's wrong While we were fading deep into ourselves But loving you always allayed my fear, it's clear I can't release this feeling The sickness came in like a freight train And swept us up into small towns The sadness pushed us 'til run down And our love died in two places I, I had to watch it fall apart from here You had to watch it disappear And die, I was no comfort close to hold you, dear Outside, the virus still blooming And all that pressure lies and builds 'Til we submit to the enemy inside Would you lie? Would you lie? Would you lie, tell me? "Everything's alright" Would you lie? Would you lie? Would you lie? But you never lied to me Would you lie this time?
