lyrics

That cautious movement
Reluctant advance
Convince yourself
You're cut out for this
Manipulate your way to that so called happiness
With walls closing in

I promise I'll love you then
(You don't, don't know me
I don't know a thing)
I promise I'm there till the end
(You don't, don't know me
I don't know a thing)
I've lost it, no way to mend
(You don't, don't know me
I don't know a thing)
I'm conscious, it's all been pretend
(You don't, don't know me
I don't know a thing)

Till I look inside the spaces I find we avoid going in
The truth is I've never wanted it
Never needed this at all
And you don't deserve to be dragged down when I fall
After all it's not harmony
It's conflicting intent in a tragic scene

So be free from all this posturing and manufactured fate
That constant weight won't weigh us down
It won't exist if we say what we mean to say

The walls have broken
The curtains closing on this
The path is open
No more hoping that this is it

Fake smiles and forced trust
But I'm not the one
I won't pretend I am

Lost soul with no love
A pitiful man
I'll never become that again
