Verse 1:
0:13
Caught in the trap of mutual denial,
0:13
Shadows betray us every hidden mile.
0:20
He’s got to be talking, I know it’s true,
0:26
But the words we need never break through.
0:32
Pre-Chorus:
0:38
I see the cracks, I feel the strain,
0:38
Learning to live with the quiet pain.
0:45
Chorus
0:51
I learn to live with the untruths,
0:51
Carry the weight, pay my dues.
0:57
Can’t live life without learning life’s lessons,
1:04
Even when love leaves its confessions.
1:07
In the shadows, in the lies,
1:10
I find the strength to realize…
1:13
Verse 2:
1:20
Every glance hides a secret kept,
1:20
Every word is a debt unwept.
1:26
Walking the echoes of what went wrong,
1:32
Trying to find where I belong.
1:38
Pre-Chorus:
1:45
I see the cracks, I feel the strain,
1:45
Learning to live with the quiet pain.
1:51
Chorus:
1:57
I learn to live with the untruths,
1:57
Carry the weight, pay my dues.
2:04
Can’t live life without learning life’s lessons,
2:10
Even when love leaves its confessions.
2:13
In the shadows, in the lies,
2:17
I find the strength to realize…
2:20
Bridge:
2:24
We stumble through mirrors of the past,
2:24
Hoping these lessons, they’ll somehow last.
2:30
Pain shapes us, love scars our hearts,
2:36
Even in darkness, we find our stars.
2:42
Chorus
2:48
I learn to live with the untruths,
2:48
Carry the weight, pay my dues.
2:54
Can’t live life without learning life’s lessons,
3:01
Even when love leaves its confessions.
3:04
In the shadows, in the lies,
3:07
I find the strength to realize…
3:10
