Fake Death

It's safe to say this is a mess

She's on a call, convinced he's broken

Tie him up, restrain him now

Repudiation is the latest crown

I saw her looking again

Staring from the outside in

I guess I got nothing to tell you

That line's see-through

All that she wants is his safety (someone save me)

Or half as much as he gave me (am I just crazy?)

All along, everything's happening all at once

Scared of believing that something's wrong

Broken and beaten, he's holding on

To a time, way before this

Caught you lookin' at me like I deserve it

Fake death, no crying, not ready to, not ready to

Still trying, but they don't wanna let him know

Voices in his head, how do we make them stop?

Getting late, and you can hear him in the hall again

Don't take him from me, please, don't take him from me

All along, everything's happening all at once

Scared of believing that something's wrong

Broken and beaten, he's holding on

To a time, way before this

Caught you lookin' at me like I deserve it

Fake death, no crying

I'm not ready to grieve

I'm not ready to, I'm not ready to (let you leave)

There's nothing colder to see

Eyes looking empty

Like he's ready to leave

In a reality shift

Absent minds become adrift

I was in love with you then

Oh God, this can't be the end

In a reality shift

The mind protects to exist

Don't tell me this isn't love

Haven't we suffered enough?
