lyrics

You have to believe me we'll end up
Cold and empty void of love
We have to break the plans that we made
You have to believe we won't give up
The life we made dead to the touch
We have to replace
Lessons for mistakes

I have known for years we should be happier than this
There could be something that we missed
We'll never know unless we try

White lies have blackened our insides
We still rely so heavily on alcohol and empathy and more
White lies that blacken our insides
Put continents between us
Friends still can't believe we said goodbye

The pictures we paint are never enough
Beneath the surface cracked and rough
We're playing the games
We said we won't play
We're swallowing spoiled versions of love
Accept the tainted versions of
Plans the we made
The plans that we make

I have known for years we should be happier than this
There could be something that we missed
We'll never know unless we try
