Verse 1:

Caught in the trap of mutual denial,

Shadows betray us every hidden mile.

He’s got to be talking, I know it’s true,

But the words we need never break through.

Pre-Chorus:

I see the cracks, I feel the strain,

Learning to live with the quiet pain.

Chorus

I learn to live with the untruths,

Carry the weight, pay my dues.

Can’t live life without learning life’s lessons,

Even when love leaves its confessions.

In the shadows, in the lies,

I find the strength to realize…

Verse 2:

Every glance hides a secret kept,

Every word is a debt unwept.

Walking the echoes of what went wrong,

Trying to find where I belong.

Pre-Chorus:

I see the cracks, I feel the strain,

Learning to live with the quiet pain.

Chorus:

I learn to live with the untruths,

Carry the weight, pay my dues.

Can’t live life without learning life’s lessons,

Even when love leaves its confessions.

In the shadows, in the lies,

I find the strength to realize…

Bridge:

We stumble through mirrors of the past,

Hoping these lessons, they’ll somehow last.

Pain shapes us, love scars our hearts,

Even in darkness, we find our stars.

Chorus

I learn to live with the untruths,

Carry the weight, pay my dues.

Can’t live life without learning life’s lessons,

Even when love leaves its confessions.

In the shadows, in the lies,

I find the strength to realize…
