You’ve been trying to brush over my excuses
The same way I’ve been papering over the cracks
So it’s about time I talk in facts
I never loved you in a way that I really should
Maybe I felt like I didn’t need to try
So I just told you everything that you wanted me to say
In a way that only someone like I could
And begged you wouldn’t figure out it was all a lie
But now I’m left treading water
And the thought of hurting you is getting harder
Even if it is the right thing to do
I’ve grown so cowardly
So I just leave it all up to you
And hope you’ll be the one to finally say it’s over

It’s not the first time you’ll catch me looking absent minded
But something about this time’s so different
Stopping the inevitable has proved too difficult
And now I know when we fall apart
We’ve got to do it in the dark
So no one can see the result of all the things I did to you
Every solution creates another problem
Every answer creates another question
And I’m afraid of the time
When there’s no more answers left to find
You’ll realise this was all a rouse
Two people faking their feelings
To avoid the void of emptiness
Just using each other as a “thing” to do

Please put me out,
Please put me out,
Please put me out of my misery
Maybe then we could both move on
And remember what it was like to be happy
I think I’d like that… wouldn't you?
