lyrics

This is a contradiction
All the words you are saying
We all know you are faking it
So is it fact or just fiction?
I've heard you talk about changing
All I see is more waiting
I know you are better than this
So tell me you're the same person
I know you are better than this
As you are behind the curtains
I know you are better than this

This isn't who you are
I can see past your scars
You've broken trust, my friend
But I won't let you fail again
I can’t watch you wander without meaning
You’ve broken trust, my friend
But I won’t let you fail again

You tell yourself that tomorrow you'll be different
But you're not taking the steps to move closer
Don't turn away the grace you've been given
Every breath is a chance to start over

You're living a lie
This is a contradiction

This isn't who you are
I can see past your scars
You've broken trust, my friend
But I won't let you fail again
I can’t watch you wander without meaning
You’ve broken trust, my friend
But I won’t let you fail again

Now is the time to live this out
When was the last time that you felt proud
Now is the time to end this pain
You can't stay here forever
You must make a change

You tell yourself that tomorrow you'll be different
But you're not taking the steps to move closer
Don't turn away the grace
You've been given
Every breath is a chance to start over
