Lyrics

In this masquerade, she can't feel the pain
Cover up her heart with a little paint
While he's pulling out a flask to hide it all away
There's nothing left to say
He knows that they're drowning
She hopes that there's still somethin' left
Let go now 'cause he's leaving
But she'd be fine pretending things were alright
Even while it's ending, keep it inside
She can feel them bending in messages she's sending
So what is she defending?
Even when she says she'll open her eyes
All her words are empty when she denies
That she can feel them bending in messages she's sending
So what is she defending?
But she'd be fine pretend-
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Step into the light to look him in the eye
Feeling so exposed, she tries to stay composed
But every little fight and every little lie
Is impossible to hide
He knows that they're drowning
She hopes that there's still somethin' left
Let go now 'cause he's leaving
But she'd be fine pretending things were alright
Even while it's ending, keep it inside
She can feel them bending in messages she's sending
So what is she defending?
Even when she says she'll open her eyes
All her words are empty when she denies
That she can feel them bending in messages she's sending
So what is she defending?
But she'd be fine pretend-
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
But she'd be fine pretending things were alright
Even while it's ending, keep it inside
She can feel them bending in messages she's sending
So what is she defending?
But she'd be fine pretending
