I know I've crossed that line with you Watched the earth shatter in your eyes I knew it
And time won't change the face of your demons Or bury what was said To bring them here
So walk away Take it on faith there's no one looking back Walk past forgiveness, ignore it Don't think anything of it This is the easiest way to take the blame To hide behind yourself for a while In denial
I know I pushed you too hard Saw the whole universe crushed in your mind I felt it
And no one knows how long you've held your end No one can imagine how it feels To be you bleeding
So throw it away Trust there's no one who can understand Sacrafice your freedom With no questions, take the deliberate way out Hide the marks of where you've been This is the easiest way to make truths of lies In denial
I can't change the shapes of the reasons Why I put it out there With you
I won't take back what it was that unnerved you Or supress the strength it takes To love you
So just walk away Pretend I'm not here existing with you Imagine you're the only thing that's real in here Without concern for repercussions or justice Just close your eyes and believe This is the easiest way to live with what's inside Denial
