Can we pretend that the hopes we have
Won't falter in the dirt
That look in your eyes
Tells me more than I need to know
This one's gonna hurt
It's true, I've got the nerve
To ask you to catch me when I fall
Cause you asked me to jump
And I asked "how high?"
To fight the gravity of this lie
When things fall apart
We won't try to take it to heart
When things fall apart
We won't try to take it to heart
Say hello to the future
It won't fall apart
Can we pretend that the hopes we had
Were better at the start
Say hello to the future
Don't take it to heart
Can we pretend that the hopes we had
Were better at the start
As we make our own way home
As I pick apart these broken bones
A feeling that can't be extinguished
I'm burning up, how do I fix this?
So shine a light in the middle of the road
Where the future lurks I know
That things can get better
Be better than before
We were better Were better at the start
