lyrics

if you’ve always had this place in my life
where u been?
if u’ve always known itd be like this
then why pretend
i know you better than you think
i know this dance across the water
i stood there n watched wreckage sink
i see her walking past the altar

until night brings a haunting voice inside my mind
collapse in just to pull apart & redefine

in the sorrow lies the acceptance we require
if there’s always time to speak up then why do we hide
you know it better than you think
you know that hill across the harbor
i stood there n watched the wreckage sink
i saw her breathing under water

& you once said keep all pulling that weight alone
you cant break - when you help me up just to push me down
you help me up just to push me down
