Tell me the wars you're fighting Behind a smile you're hiding All the things I know you want to say We tried our best to find us But there are no lights to guide us I can't sleep beside a stranger now Piece by piece we fall apart With every beat slows down my heart So I'll just say what you won't say And I'll take the blame if it is for your sake No turning back on what you can't save So far gone Yeah, we're so far gone I've tried hard to remember This prison cell used to be a shelter Now we're just looking for the best way out And I can't fight you anymore You're already one foot out the door So I'll just say what you won't say And I'll take the blame if it is for your sake No turning back on what you can't save So far gone, Yeah we're so far gone And this is the face of letting go And these are things we already know So I'll just say what you won't say And I'll take the blame if it is for your sake No turning back on what you can't save So far gone We're so far gone So I'll just say what you won't say And I'll take the blame if it is for your sake No turning back on what you can't save So far gone, Yea we're so far gone Yea we're so far gone So I'll just say what you won't say
