Deny the way things changed
call it growing up
but that’s a front
you forget just how real
life can feel
finding it pointless
to even say a word
if it’s all in fear
of what someone else might hear

don’t confuse the kindness in my eyes
for a weakness telling me to compromise
there’s no bottle filled with answers
no universal standard written down
to save your life

But I bet this sounded better in your head
I’m losing interest in all your promises
it’s a matter of fact
I was all alone
you were only looking out for yourself

I’ll make my home inside this lighthouse
it’s where I’ll find my own answers to it all

I just can’t pretend to be comfortable
with seeing the world through someone else’s eyes
