(v1)
Somedays I wanna drive
Into an afterlife
Headlights, car rides
Stay up light to
Keep you safe inside the lines
Somedays I'll see a word
And my eyes start to blur
Headlights, car rides
Make me think of
All the times you made me cry
How am I supposed to lie?
I was only terrified
(chorus)
And I hate that I care but it still hurts now
Dead silence cuts through everything else
But it's like when I'm asked if you're out there
I'm still scared and feel like I'm supposed to lie
I still remember the moment it hit me
That I was too much to be cared for completely
Sorry I couldn't be more like a memory
I wish you had been there and wish you believed me
(v2)
I'll run until I find
Somewhere safe to hide
White lies, cold eyes
Make me feel like
I could use an alibi
One day maybe I'll learn
It's always gonna burn
And white lies, cold eyes
Make me feel like
I should probably say goodbye
How am I supposed to lie?
I was only terrified

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
