I barely awoke this morning. 

Distant colors fade behind the sky again. 

I could hardly listen 

now your words have come to make me try. 

If I could stop to find the time. 

Everything you hide 

has put you in position 

to give up and say goodbye, 

but you just close your eyes. 

And you fake it, and you fake it. 

"I don't want to live here." 

She said "The days would fall 

where I could see the change in all 

before it has to leave" 

Left broken in it's place is 

the smile on the faces 

they're left stranded here 

and thrown away. 

Everything you hide 

has put you in position 

to give up and say goodbye, 

but you just close your eyes. 

And you chase it, and you chase it. 

Now I just think in stages 

wandering through places 

where my head will fall 

until I sleep again. 

I'm sick behind confusion 

that I have placed between them. 

They're left perfect here 

so no one can complain. 

Everything you hide 

has put you in position 

to give up and say goodbye, 

but you just close your eyes. 

And you fake it, and you fake it
