[Intro] (Instrumental) [Verse 1] Buried deep in my soul, a darkness only I know. A pain that hides in plain sight, This just doesn’t feel right. A truth that needs set free, But your selfish ears never hear me. [Pre-Chorus] Drowning in the “what if” abyss, With words that can’t leave my lips. Masked by moments that never last, Dreams shattered like broken glass. [Chorus] Chasing what will never be, telling myself Im happy. It’s all A ruse held up by glue, This life’s a lie I share with you. [Verse 2] You’ll never see this part of me, I hold it tight, with lock and key. A graveyard of wishes made by me, visions I had, left incomplete— Too immature to understand, Just a shell of a man [Chorus] Chasing what will never be, telling myself Im happy. It’s all A ruse held up by glue, This life’s a lie I share with you. [Bridge] You’re raised to be weak and meager, I’m chasing dreams, filled with eager. Two separate paths, but no future , I can’t do this any longer. [Chorus] Chasing what will never be, telling myself Im happy. It’s all A ruse held up by glue, This life’s a lie I share with you. [Outro] I used to wish it could be you, (be you) While i watched my dreams die (in the rearview.) ( if only I knew, it would never be you)
