Verse 1 Don’t mourn for a soul that’s still living. Don’t wear a facade and pretend you’re over me. Don’t cling to possessions that could never replace me. The weight of your loss at night leaves you slowly fading. Come closer, so I can tell you… Chorus It doesn’t have to be this way. You don’t have to fake your happiest moments While smiling through the darkest days. You don’t have to tell the world That you’ll be okay. You can’t force a confession And make me say the words That would push us away, That will push us away. Verse 2 You don’t need to convince me that you’re over it. You don’t need to break me just to follow the tune of your sound. You don’t need to ask me to bleed So I can finally feel the wounds. I’m done holding on to what we could’ve been, Pretending there’s still something left to lose. Bridge There’s only me entering the tunnels of maybes, Grazing my soul before it became me. Stop holding on to the false reality, Face myself so I can finally carry my agony. Letting you win the war, So I can finally breathe. Final Chorus It doesn’t have to be this way. You don’t have to fake your happiest moments While smiling through the darkest days. You don’t have to tell the world That you’ll be okay. You can’t force a confession And make me say the words That would push us away, That will push us away.
