Lyrics
0:00In this masquerade she can't feel the pain
0:03Cover up her heart with a little paint
0:06While he's pulling out a flask to hide it all away
0:10There's nothing left to say
0:15He knows that they're drowning
0:18She hopes that there's still something left
0:22Let go now 'cause he's leaving
0:26But she'd be fine pretending things were alright
0:31Even while it's ending keep it inside
0:34She can feel them bending
0:36The message she sending so what is she defending?
0:40Even when she says she'll open her eyes
0:44All her words are empty when she denies
0:48That she can feel them bending
0:49The message she sending so what is she defending?
0:53But she'd be fine pretend
1:08Step into the light to look him in the eye
1:12Feeling so exposed she tries to stay composed
1:15But every little fight and every little lie
1:18Is impossible to hide
1:23He knows that they're drowning
1:27She hopes that there's still something left
1:30Let go now 'cause he's leaving
1:35But she'd be fine pretending things were alright
1:39Even while it's ending keep it inside
1:42She can feel them bending
1:44The message she sending so what is she defending?
1:49Even when she says she'll open her eyes
1:53All her words are empty when she denies
1:56That she can feel them bending
1:58The message she sending so what is she defending?
2:02But she'd be fine pretend
2:16But she'd be fine pretending things were alright
2:20Even while it's ending keep it inside
2:24She can feel them bending
2:25The message she sending so what is she defending?
2:29But she'd be fine pretending
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 something 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 The message she 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 The message she sending so what is she defending? But she'd be fine pretend 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 something 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 The message she 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 The message she sending so what is she defending? But she'd be fine pretend But she'd be fine pretending things were alright Even while it's ending keep it inside She can feel them bending The message she sending so what is she defending? But she'd be fine pretending
