Well if you call me sympathetic, I can smile for you and fake it
Lest my bleeding heart spill all across the floor
For I know what I've been told, against the pains these ripples hold
So confused, because I can't see past this door
Fair is only, fair if you
Can play by my selfish rules
There's no middle, win or lose
It's getting harder to make sense of this at all
It's complicated, feeling just the way I feel
Misconceptions, have caught up to, my emotions after all
I don't need to fake it, just knowing what I know
Endless days, sleepless nights will surely take its toll
For me to turn the other cheek, yeah, not too sure if I can take it
I have to grin and bear this shame, so do the same
Please remind me of that time, 'cause I swear, it's been a while
When you were walking by my side, oh no, you didn't
So rest easy, don't you mind
We can go about our lives
'Cause toleration takes its time
Just so you know, my better self, is on withdrawal
