Tell the story how you will
Explain these scars away
Erase the memories that gave them to me
I'll wait
A lie's a pretty little pill
Prescriptions for delusions
Pain illusions for your friends
I'll play the villain once again
Oh, whatever it takes
To help you sleep better
I'll be okay Go on and tell the world I'm bitter
But look in my face And find the courage to say
I didn't love with all I am Go on, be brave
We
watched this slip away
And I watched you fall and break
But
instead of finding blame I'd rather find my way home to you
Oh,
home to you now Lay here till the evening ends
Pray for the morning You'll be with me,
I'll pretend
That you're in my arms again I tell myself I did no wrong
And I'm better off alone That's how I make it when you're gone
It's how I make it since you're gone
Oh, whatever it takes To help me sleep better
I say I'm okay Though on the inside I'm bitter
Can't keep a straight
face And find the courage to say That I don't love with all I am
I'm not that brave
And find the courage
to say I didn't love with all
I am
Oh,
sometimes love can feel Like a battlefield,
it's hard to hold on
And as the pressure builds My patience fails And heart becomes strong
