The Things We Carry Home | Zephyra

I can't- I can't lie to you... Anymore 🎵 A compromise I was never fit for When every day feels like a trip to hell and back My mouth keeps bleeding From biting my cheek, from biting my cheek 🎵 (The surface seems too far away) (The light doesn't break through today) (When I lie so you can sleep easy) (Will you ever be able to forgive me?) When you look at me What do you see? What do you see? When you say you love me Is it the truth or the trauma speaking? When nobody held your hand through the flames I tried to carry that weight for you But everything we bury alone Becomes the things we carry home. 🎵 And I can't keep it away anymore 🎵 I can't keep it away anymore 🎵 It's hard to stay strong To paint a world in softer tones You're the good I can't believe in And I don't know how long I can keep Lying, biting my cheek So, I don't say what would make me seem weak I'm a hypocrite, one and the same As the people I learned to blame I can't lie anymore The mask will slip I can't lie anymore Not to you, no more 🎵 (The truth seems too far away) (The world will reach you anyway) (When I lie so you can sleep easy) (Will you ever be able to forgive me?) I won't. When you look at me What do you see? What do you see? When you say you love me Is it the truth or the trauma speaking? When nobody held your hand through the flames I tried to carry that weight for you But everything we bury alone Becomes the things we carry home. 🎵 I can't lie anymore Not to you Not to you Anymore
