Lyrics

Every word, written by AI.

Intro

Verse 1
You said We're fine, like you always said
I nodded, but I already know
I lay awake and my mind goes round
I'm tired of pretending, and I can't let it go
Your side of the bed's been cold for months
And I never said a word out loud
Whatever we had is gone, it's dead
And I'm done pretending that it's not so

Verse 2
I watched the love fade from your eyes
And still I kept on holding on
You used to reach and take my hand
Now I just don't know where to stand
We sat there silent through the night
And I can't say that it's all right
I don't want a stranger in my home
I'd rather face it than be alone

Chorus
Don't ask me to keep up that smile
I can't hold up what isn't true
Let me be honest for a while
Let me just tell the truth to you

Instrumental Break

Verse 3
So here I am, I'll tell you plain
I loved you and it was all real
I'm not here to slam the door
I just can't pretend anymore
If you want me to stay, then say
Don't ask me to hide it away
It hurts, but I can stand the pain
I'd rather cry in honest rain

Chorus
Don't ask me to keep up that smile
I can't hold up what isn't true
Let me be honest for a while
Let me just tell the truth to you

Outro
I'm not mad, I just can't fake my face
Let me be honest in this place
