| Why do you force to smile
|
| When every part of your body tells you not to?
|
| We see your teeth broken and shattered
|
| Jagged from clenching
|
| Bitting down so hard
|
| To keep the truth from spilling out
|
| It hurts to fake it, doesn’t it?
|
| Lay it down
|
| Stubborn girl, lay it down
|
| I turn up my speakers
|
| So I can drown my thoughts just a little bit quicker
|
| Dancing barefoot in the dead of winter
|
| So I can numb this heart that’s full of splinters
|
| They say time heals
|
| All wounds but these clocks are at a standstill
|
| And I’m counting every second that you’re not here
|
| But only in my dreams do you appear
|
| Am I allowed to lay down my smile
|
| And be bitter just for a while?
|
| Don’t keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
|
| I see all the embers, they’ve not yet lost all their glow
|
| Could you try to take a look into my eyes?
|
| And tell me why, oh, why, why, why?
|
| Why, oh, why, why, why?
|
| Why, oh, why?
|
| I close all the windows
|
| Draw the curtains hoping that the sun knows
|
| All I see is you when the day glows
|
| Reminding me that you are just a shadow
|
| When I wake
|
| For a split second in time, my heart does not ache
|
| Thinking you’ll be next to me, then I shake
|
| To see an empty bed and all over I brake
|
| Am I allowed to lay down my smile
|
| And be bitter just for a while?
|
| Don’t keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
|
| I see all the embers, they’ve not yet lost all their glow
|
| Could you try to take a look into my eyes?
|
| And tell me why, oh, why, why, why?
|
| I should have known when you were grinding your teeth
|
| That you were hiding your feelings from me
|
| I should have known when you were tossing in your sleep
|
| That you were hiding your feelings from me (oh)
|
| I should have known when you were grinding your teeth
|
| (I should have known)
|
| That you were hiding your feelings from me (oh)
|
| I should have known when you were tossing in your sleep (oh)
|
| That you were hiding your feelings from me
|
| Don’t keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
|
| I see the embers, they’ve not yet lost all their glow
|
| Could you try to take a look into my eyes?
|
| And tell me why, oh, why, why, why?
|
| Don’t keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat
|
| I see all the embers, they’ve not yet lost all their glow
|
| Could you try to take a look into my eyes?
|
| And tell me why, oh, why, why, why?
|
| Why, oh, why, why, why?
|
| Why, oh, why, why, why?
|
| Why, oh, why, why, why?
|
| Why, oh, why, why, why? |
