Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You say it's the words, the words
That we didn't speak
But it's mostly the words that you didn't keep
The mistakes being me, I didn't see
All of the smoke and the mirrors
Being reflected off of me
[Verse 2]
Somebody should've told me
Darkness is key
Somebody should've showed me
How was I supposed to see?
That even as you think you're breaking
And even as your voice is shaking
I am not the only
That's what somebody should've told me
[Verse 3]
Dancing in a haze
We pretend to be just fine
While inside in disbelief
I'm lost with no cause
Just like my, my mother before me
In need of some peace, someone to believe
See the same as me
[Verse 4]
Somebody should've told me
Darkness is key
Somebody should've showed me
How was I supposed to see?
That even as you think you're breaking
And even as your voice is shaking
I am not the only
That's what somebody should've told me
[Verse 5]
My will is pure, I adore
Grief and give all of me
All I have, all I am and all I wish to be
To be part, to be part of your harmony
Still in my mind
I'm in the corner singing off key
Hey
[Verse 6]
Somebody should've told me
Darkness is key
Somebody should've showed me
How was I supposed to see?
That even as you think you're breaking
And even as your voice is shaking
I am not the only
That's what somebody should've told me
