lyrics

I want so much
To be honest
And I want so much
For that to be true

I'm sorry for
My lack of contrition
That I don't hurt
When I hurt you

I long for transparency
Tattoo a pulse on my sleeve
But I'm handcuffed to my image
And he's much kinder than me

If they really knew me,
Would they wish they never knew me at all?
If they really saw through me,
They would stand appalled

An impostor walks among you
Frantically stumbling about
He's contriving and plotting each move
So terrified that you'll find him out

Why can't they see him?
It's only a matter of time
Till they pull back the curtain
And reveal the liar's face to be mine

But you, you caught my tears in a bottle
You, you bought me with blood
And somehow you saw it fit to save me
When there was nothing I could do
