Verse 1: Every choice you make, you act like it’s yours. Woven clothes fit perfectly around the lies you’re told. Built a version of yourself that you’re finally content with, But I see right through you like I was the blueprint. Chorus: Must be so exhausting sleeping with the version of you that’s slowly dying. Showing the world your scars have healed, but underneath, you’re still hiding. They can’t see the side of you that bleeds beneath the silence. You finally came alive when you were with me, But now that I’m gone, you’re back to denying. Verse 2: Picture perfect, like I just took your photograph. They all see the beauty, but don’t study what makes you laugh. They keep it shallow, never stopping to ask If you’re okay today, or if you’re breaking beneath the mask. Chasing pleasure in a moment that was never meant to last, I’m learning to tame my anger— What’s gone is gone, and this too shall pass. Bridge: Are you just a fragment of my imagination, Or are you the truth I couldn’t grasp? Are you here for the moment, Or staying when the burden unpacks? Am I just delusional, Or are we the perfect match? One foot in the coffin, With my DNA beneath your fingernails as you scratch. Final Chorus: Must be so exhausting sleeping with the version of you that’s slowly dying. Showing the world your scars have healed, but underneath, you’re still hiding. They can’t see the side of you that bleeds beneath the silence. You finally came alive when you were with me, But now that I’m gone, you’re back to denying.
