Before we start this, I need you to understand me
We're not like anyone else
Always afraid to say what they mean
I've been captured by a masterpiece of lies
This body here is just an empty disguise
I've stopped lying to myself about my intentions
I want to see you buckle under the weight of your decisions
All this time, you had planned to leave me here with nothing
I tried to understand but I must have missed something
All this time spent seeing darkness and missing the light
And now you know why no one will ever stay by your side
Words fall like daggers from your mouth
I wanna know what you're hiding in the blackouts
I hope you know no one here would believe you now (fuck you)
Keep on drowning in your self doubt
You wanna be like me, you better learn to refuse
And how to look in yourself for the truth
Teach a liar where his place is
And what it means to be someone new
TEVOR TATRO:
We are the lies that you tell yourself to sleep at night
I'm fighting hatred just to scream these words
Do you even hear me?
Shallow people reading empty books keep telling me how to live my life
JOHNNY LOWERY:
I've been dying to tell you that I don't believe you
Your heart is sharp as a knife
BOTH:
I won't be there when you find out love is unfair
All this time, you had planned to leave me here with nothing
I tried to understand but I must have missed something
All this time spent seeing darkness and missing the light
And now you know why no one will ever stay by your side
You have to prove yourself to make it through the night
I won't keep putting myself in your lies
You have to prove to me that you're on your way home
Before I decide I'm on my own
