V1

I’m lying to you, love

Cuz I don’t really wanna talk

You’ll just say everything’s not lost

But I still can’t find the words

I know sometimes I don’t let you in

When you wanna get under my skin

I’ll just say something wrong

You know how I get, I just shut off

From the west coast out to Boston

Well, I guess somewhere I lost it

My false confidence is gonna have to take the mic

You don’t understand, neither do I

So please don’t take my silence for/as a lie

CHORUS

Can you stay long enough

To shatter these illusions?

‘Cus you take up the good parts of my mind

Please don’t give it up

Don’t draw your own conclusions

The best thing you could give to me is time

V2

I’m trying for you, love

Get outta bed and put my face on

Cuz nothings really even wrong

This just happens every so often these days

Said “baby won’t you please just let me in

I can try to change how you’re thinking”

I get guilty when we say goodnight

Roll over, turn off all the lights

Wonder if you should be spending your time

With some other upbeat girl who works a nine to five

You know i don’t want to let you down

I’m just hoping that you’ll stick around

CHORUS

Can you stay long enough

To shatter these illusions?

‘Cus you take up the good parts of my mind

Please don’t give it up

Don’t draw your own conclusions

The best thing you could give to me is time
