War paint


I've still got passion, and I've still got guts.
But I no longer give a fuck about what you want.
You say I'm a savior and a saint?
Then let's stop pretending and pull out the war paint.
Or do you refuse to open old wounds,
In fear that you'll actually have to feel?

We try so hard. We try to just pretend
That things didn't change as the honeymoon set.
This house, this ring, the secrets shared in bed
Were built on the faith in the foundation.
And I feel the bend...

The fucking more I see who you've become
The more I lose sight of the love
That I once had in your brown eyes.
I used to be afraid that this would end,
Now I embrace it.
We are ships passing through the night.

We try so hard. We try to just pretend.
That things didn't change as the honeymoon set.
This house, this ring, the secrets shared in bed
Were built on the faith in the foundation.
And I feel the bend...

I see bright lights flicker ahead.
I see stars shining to their death.
I see you.

And I don't know what to do.

Beautiful sunset. Passionate kiss.
These things mean nothing when you cannot come to terms with
The person who you are, and who you're meant to be
Are separated by a sea of insecurities.

I've been digging out from underneath
An avalanche that has taken twenty years to see.
Our reality is our own to create,
And the sooner that you realize that
The sooner that you can change.

Or history will just hit repeat
And you will pass your poison down onto your child's feet.
And they will struggle, struggle to breathe,
Cowering in shadows that you cast they cannot see.

Beautiful sunset. Passionate kiss.
These things mean nothing when you cannot come to terms with
The person who you are, and who you're meant to be
Are separated by a sea of insecurities.

I've been digging out from underneath
An avalanche that has taken twenty years to see.
Our reality is our own to create,
And the sooner that you realize that
The sooner that you can change.

I won't repeat. I won't repeat.
I won't repeat the things that I can change.
I won't repeat. I won't repeat.
I won't repeat the things that I can change.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
