Lyrics

Lyin' next to you
Wishing I could disappear, hey
Let you fall asleep
And vanish out into thin air, hey
It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads
But we don't believe it
Tryin' to be perfect
Tryin' not to let you down, yeah
Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now, yeah
While the floors underneath our feet are crumblin'
The walls we built together tumblin'
I still stand here holdin' up the roof
'Cause it's easier than telling the truth
I still keep your photographs
I remember how we used to laugh
I can keep on losin' sleep if you're okay with being torn in half
It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it
It's an avalanche that looms above our heads
But we don't believe it
Tryin' to be perfect
Tryin' not to let you down, yeah
Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now, yeah
While the floors underneath our feet are crumblin'
The walls we built together tumblin'
I still stand here holdin' up the roof
'Cause it's easier than telling the truth
Stop ignoring that our hearts are mourning
And let the rain come in
Stop pretending that it's not ending
And let the end begin
Oh yeah
Tryin' to be perfect
Tryin' not to let you down, yeah
Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now, yeah
While the floors underneath our feet are crumblin'
The walls we built together tumblin'
I still stand here holdin' up the roof
'Cause it's easier than telling the truth
It's easier than telling the truth
