I'd be a lair if I told you I could grow to hate you
Your swear you understood
But you ask me for the favour
Just give it time
To make it easier
I'll hide behind closed eyes
But regrets in every line that you quote
From your favourite childhood films about love
You asked me to swear it meant nothing
You begged me to swear it meant nothing to nobody ever at all
You asked me to swear it meant nothing
You begged me to swear it meant nothing to nobody.
I tried to be a better man before
But I ripped at the seems when you made me explore
All the things that I would hide away
Kick the dirt over my sins
Tell me what have you done?
Tell me where have you been?
The fact is my heart's just not in it
There's no point in dragging this out
Just simply for the purpose of feeling love
It's only narcissistic fear of the truth
But I'm sick of the smell of lies
And they always seem to fit like a glove
So maybe I'll not write about love
And maybe I shouldn't sing of you anymore, Jessica
And maybe I'll just write about nothing
Cause after all that we did that's all I am to her.
If we lit a fire
Burned our home to the ground
Would we dance in the ashes?
Would you still be so proud?

A beautiful reveal
The way the light shone down
Upon your canvas
You looked me in the eyes
And asked if I believe in second chances
You thought that I would recognise
The cries for help
That you were spilling from your silence
But I was choosing to be blind
And deaf to all the things
That You weren't saying
I'd take back every word I ever said to you
And I wish I could
She swears it's the medicine
That caused all her aches and pains
She said I wasn't listening
To a word that she had to say
And now she is crying
She swears that I'd be crying too
If I had heard a single word she said
I'd know what she's going through.
I'd take back every word I ever said to you
And I wish I could.
