Keeping Your Distance



Haunted by the silver days where you feel like drowning and everything's spinning
You keep it like a secret but I hope they can see through you like they saw through me
You've gotten so good at lying and acting out feelings you wish that you felt
But I'm tired of waiting You're no longer just a casual let down
You're playing the part
Reciting the lines until you drown
You're keeping your distance
From the people you found knew you too well
You're losing it all
So tell all your friends how sorry you are But keep them on empty so they'll never leave you
Like you have left me The careful martyr to your character flaw
