[Verse 1]

Looking for the perfect moment

To lay down your reasons why

As if nobody would ever notice

And you yourself even deny

[Chorus]

Well you can hold back the truth

We'll never tell it a lie

And I won't ever know

The person that you're keeping inside

Do you trust me with your thoughts in progress

Or only wasting our time

[Verse 2]

So willing you withdraw

I know that you wish all of the feelings would unravel themselves

But I'll never know if you don't tell

[Pre-Chorus]

So don't say what you thought that I wanted to hear

I don't know what to believe when you speak out of fear

There's no other way around

Gotta say it out loud

And wind up feeling alone

[Chorus]

Well I know you can hold back the truth

We'll never tell it a lie

And I won't ever know

The person that you're keeping inside

Do you trust me with your thoughts in progress

It's all that's gonna keep you honest

Do you trust me with your thoughts in progress

Or only wasting our time

We're only wasting our time

[Bridge]

Won't you let go

Won't you let your guard show

I don't wanna waste time

Reading into your mind

[Chorus]

You can hold back the truth

We'll never tell it a lie

And I won't ever know

The person that you're keeping inside

Well you can hold back the truth

We'll never tell it a lie

And I won't ever know

The person that you're keeping inside

Do you trust me with your thoughts in progress

It's all that's gonna keep you honest

Do you trust me with your thoughts in progress

We're only wasting our time

[Outro]

We're only wasting our time

Won't you let go

Let your guard show

Won't you let go

Let your guard show
