Verse 1:

Another mourning for all that has passed

We sing softly for no one to hear

An empty elegy, for I'm still left behind

Rising from the reckage, I'm yet undefined

Verse 2:

Listen to the rain fall again

It reminds me of a time when it was right

You've become so numb, you don't know me

Suspended above me, out of my reach

Pre-chorus:

See how I =lie

Chorus:

Oh, could you take me somewhere?

Oh, can you wake me, please

With a second embrace?

Let's just pretend

Cuz it'll never even happen

Oh, will it break me?

Or will it save me?

With a second embrace

Let's just pretend

Cuz it'll never even happen

Verse 3:

I don't know what the outcome may be

But as far as I know, I'm never coming down

Till we reach the bottom of this plague

It keeps us lying from everyone

Pre-chorus:

See how I lie

Chorus

Bridge:

Holding my heart of stone

In both my hands, it feels cold

These words I've erased

Can still be seen through the new writing

Chorus 2x to outro
