Charades

I don't wanna wait for the day

When the shots are called but the feelings change

Did you really know what to say

When you knew it was over but wanted to stay

We were always playing a guessing game

A tired and cyclical round of charades

But I forfeit my place

I forfeit my place

Could I be complacent

To a creature I created

I could lie to you but I can't fool me

And I gave it time but it never felt right

And I saw the signs and I turned a blind eye

I don't wanna wait for the day

When the shots are called but the feelings change

Did you really know what to say

When you knew it was over but wanted to stay

We were always playing a guessing game

A tired and cyclical round of charades

But I forfeit my place

I forfeit my place

No flame extinguished

Match never struck to begin with

Can't put out a fire that never existed

And we swam for the way out

Through an ocean filled with doubt

Threw water to put us out but we'd already drowned

I don't wanna wait for the day

When the shots are called but the feelings change

Did you really know what to say

When you knew it was over but wanted to stay

We were always playing a guessing game

A tired and cyclical round of charades

But I forfeit my place

I forfeit my place

What do you do when your life's on the line

Put your best foot forward and fight the good fight

I've been hiding undercover, played a part that wasn't mine

This masquerade had run out of time

What do you do when your life's on the line

Put your best foot forward and fight the good fight

I've been hiding undercover, played a part that wasn't mine

This masquerade had run out of time

I don't wanna wait for the day

When the shots are called but the feelings change

Did you really know what to say

When you knew it was over but wanted to stay

We were always playing a guessing game

A tired and cyclical round of charades

But I forfeit my place

I forfeit my place
