[Verse 1] You left your silver lighter by the sink I saw the name scratched underneath the ink Your coat was cold, your answer came too fast A little truth can wear a perfect mask [Pre-Chorus] I don't need the whole confession Just one thing you can't explain You keep calling it protection I keep hearing my own name [Chorus] Give me an alibi, something I can hold A story with a heartbeat, a lie that won't unfold If you're gonna disappear, don't leave me wondering why Say it like you mean it, give me an alibi [Verse 2] The train pulled out at quarter after ten You said you never knew those streets back then But in your phone, beneath a photograph Was a folded ticket dated from the past [Pre-Chorus] Now every door has a question Every silence leaves a trace You keep asking for forgiveness While you won't look at my face [Chorus] Give me an alibi, something I can hold A story with a heartbeat, a lie that won't unfold If you're gonna disappear, don't leave me wondering why Say it like you mean it, give me an alibi [Bridge] Maybe I don't want the answer Maybe I just want the choice To walk away before the damage Learns the shape of your voice [Final Chorus] Give me an alibi, something I can hold A story with a heartbeat, a lie that won't unfold If you're gonna disappear, don't leave me wondering why Say it like you mean it, give me an alibi [Outro] The lighter's on the windowsill The room is dark, but I am still
