[Verse 1] We walk into the room, I'm holding your hand Hoping they don't see we're building on sand Got this perfect smile practiced on my face But behind closed doors, it's an empty space And I'm waiting for all of our friends to see The complete strangers we turned out to be Laughing out loud, pretending we're strong Wondering where it all went wrong [Pre-Chorus] Cause keeping up the act is taking a toll Playing the perfect, unbreakable role But under the surface, I'm holding my breath Afraid we're gonna fail the ultimate test [Chorus] We stand side by side but we're so far away! Running out of things that we even can say! We look like a match that was written in stone! But even together we're feeling alone! Yeah, everybody thinks we got it all figured out! But we're running on empty and burning right out! We're keeping it steady but tearing apart! Just trying to hide the break in our heart! [Verse 2] I look at the couples surrounding us now Wondering if they are faking somehow Maybe the happiest ones in the room Are fighting their own little feeling of doom Maybe we’re all just doing our best Putting the brave face up to the test Nobody knows what they're doing at all Just waiting and hoping they never will fall [Pre-Chorus] Cause keeping up the act is taking a toll Playing the perfect, unbreakable role But under the surface, I'm holding my breath Afraid we're gonna fail the ultimate test [Chorus] We stand side by side but we're so far away! Running out of things that we even can say! We look like a match that was written in stone! But even together we're feeling alone! Yeah, everybody thinks we got it all figured out! But we're running on empty and burning right out! We're keeping it steady but tearing apart! Just trying to hide the break in our heart! [Bridge] It’s heavy to live inside of a lie Smiling right through when you just want to cry I look in your eyes from across the room Knowing it's all gonna fall apart soon Yeah, the cameras flash and we pose for the shot But we're giving them everything that we're not! [Final Chorus] We stand side by side but we're so far away! Running out of things that we even can say! We look like a match that was written in stone! But even together we're feeling alone! Yeah, everybody thinks we got it all figured out! But we're running on empty and burning right out! We're keeping it steady but tearing apart! Just trying to hide the break in our heart! [Outro] Picture perfect... Feeling alone... We're all just figuring it out.
