[Verse 1] Past the ticket gates Nobody is rushing anymore The sleeve of my white shirt A little smudged with dirt Hiding today’s pain Behind the edge of my business card I guess I’ve practiced smiling A little too much [Pre-Chorus] Hey, the truth is Everyone has nights when they feel weak I want to show it, and yet I keep hiding it away [Chorus] In this adult world I swallow my own name In this adult world Putting on a brave face In this adult world Even so, only you (Only you) Leave behind for me A single drop of honest truth [Verse 2] Walking home, swinging A plastic convenience store bag "Let’s catch up sometime" Feels so strangely heavy After the last train The silence of those who remain I’ve gotten way too good At pretending to understand it all [Pre-Chorus] Hey, the truth is I just want to lean on your shoulder Even though the stronger I act The further away you seem [Chorus] In this adult world I swallow my own name In this adult world Putting on a brave face In this adult world Even so, only you (Only you) Leave behind for me A single drop of honest truth [Bridge] In this dry city The little kindness I found Deep inside my pocket I’m still holding tight Even if I feel like breaking This isn't the end Because that voice of yours Is still lighting my path [Chorus] In this adult world I swallow my own name In this adult world Putting on a brave face In this adult world Even so, only you (Only you) Leave behind for me A single drop of honest truth
