lyrics

I hate being with all your friends
Eyeful of judgement never ends

I think I’d like some privacy
Without these burning eyes on me
Cause, you’ve kept your promises I’ve kept mine too
But any moment it could come unglued
Cause when we started we both promised it was only our world
But now the world is trying to barge in too

Is there nothing else we can do
Cause I’m through pretending this is untrue
Is there nowhere else we can go
Cause I know this door wont always stay closed

And, I hate pretending we’re just friends
Mouthful of lies please make this end

There’s only two ways this can go
Our separate ways or let this show
Cause you’ve got your options, mine are running thin
Just like the ice that we stepped on to begin
But if you wanted you could fix it with just one simple act
But you wont risk it ’til it weighs on your back

It feels like we’re under attack
Let’s step back and weigh the rumors with the facts
We can’t keep living in this trap
We know that, let’s break this lock and lift the hatch
Cause it’s starting to feel like this thin line just might snap

I hate pretending we’re just friends (I can’t be your friend)
Earful of secrets make it end
Yeah
