[Verse 1]

In this masquerade, she can't feel the pain

Cover up her heart with a little paint

While he's pulling out a flask to hide it all away

There's nothing left to say

[Pre-Chorus]

He knows that they're drowning

She hopes that there's still somethin' left

Let go now 'cause he's leaving

[Chorus]

But she'd be fine pretending things were alright

Even while it's ending, keep it inside

She can feel them bending in messages she's sending

So what is she defending?

Even when she says she'll open her eyes

All her words are empty when she denies

That she can feel them bending in messages she's sending

So what is she defending?

But she'd be fine pretend

[Post-Chorus]

Hm-hm, hm-hm, hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm

Hm-hm, hm-hm, hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm

Hm-hm, hm-hm, hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm

[Verse 2]

Step into the light to look him in the eye

Feeling so exposed, she tries to stay composed

But every little fight and every little lie is impossible to hide

[Pre-Chorus]

He knows that they're drowning

She hopes that there's still somethin' left

Let go now 'cause he's leaving

[Chorus]

But she'd be fine pretending things were alright

Even while it's ending, keep it inside

She can feel them bending in messages she's sending

So what is she defending?

Even when she says she'll open her eyes

All her words are empty when she denies

That she can feel them bending in messages she's sending

So what is she defending?

But she'd be fine pretend

[Post-Chorus]

Hm-hm, hm-hm, hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm

Hm-hm, hm-hm, hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm

Hm-hm, hm-hm, hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm

[Outro]

But she'd be fine pretending things were alright

Even while it's ending, keep it inside

She can feel them bending in messages she's sending

So what is she defending?

But she'd be fine pretending
