The Conversation

Where do we begin
When there's so much unsaid?
Why do stories end?
Can’t we just keep re-reading?

I think we need to have the conversation
We've been putting off too long
I think we need to have the conversation
I've been holding on too strong

If we’re being honest
Were we fractured from the start?
You gave me what I wanted
While I loved you with half a heart

It's killing you, and killing me
That this is less than we dreamed it'd be
Are you hearing this?
Are you hearing me?
Now I'm cutting through the make-believe

No time to make amends
You know we can't pretend I've learned my lessons
I'm lost in the same routine
Caught in familiar patterns

I think we need to have the conversation
We've been putting off too long
I think we need to have the conversation
I’ve been holding on too strong

If we’re being honest
Were we fractured from the start?
You gave me what I wanted
While I loved you with half a heart

It's killing you, and killing me
That this is less than we dreamed it’d be
Are you hearing this? Are you hearing me?
Now I'm cutting through the make-believe
I'm cutting through the make-believe
Oh ‘cause this is
Killing this, and killing me
That this is less than we dreamed it'd be
Are you hearing this? Are you hearing me?
Now I’m cutting through the make believe
