I told myself I had it all Love and work, like I could fall But behind the smile, I felt the strain Tried so hard to earn your name I’d find a reason not to go Just to have you hold me slow One more minute, one more lie Just to feel you by my side I knew you saw what I would hide But stayed and played along each time I hated how I made you prove That your love was really true You laughed with me till morning came I'd watch your car fade down the lane Called you back as soon you’d left Like distance stole what I had left I played it cold, just to be seen But I knew I was being mean One more minute, one more lie Just to feel you by my side I knew you saw what I would hide But stayed and played along each time I hated how I made you prove That your love was really true If I had loved you with more grace Would we still be in the same place? All we did was scratch the pain Just to feel something again I was reaching, lost in need Tried to make you see me bleed Held on tight to broken rules Loved you hard, and played the fool One more lie to make you stay But I broke us anyway Maybe this time, I’ll just breathe
