lyrics

You don’t ever let it out
And I don’t ask you anyhow
We just keep on going on
Like an old machine
We slowly rust

Talking less and drinking more
Anything to keep us from
The truth that’s hidden in these words
The words that we don’t dare
To speak out loud

Encapsulated in our heads
With helmets made of darkened thoughts
I wish that we could find a way
But we don’t even have
The strength to try

It didn’t use to be this way
I didn’t use to think like this
But something makes us interfere
With how it was and how it all could be

(And) I think I love you more
Than I ever done before
But I don't
Know what to do
To change
Our ways
