I will ever try to find it in your face
Oh a love that would hold me
And the promises that you and I have made—
A white lie on my shoulder

You know I have failed for oh so long—
Why do I even try to defend myself?

And I tell you that it’s too hard to explain—
Just try to control it
But the fire that I told you I would give
Is just a pile that smoulders

How can I pretend for oh so long
That I have some good in me without you?
How can I have hid for oh so long
When it feels so good to surrender?
