A full house, and empty smiles
There's a hole in every door
Did it make us love you more?
I hope it felt good so you could let go

How close was I to becoming you?
Should I try to fit these shoes?
I'm just a child
Let's see how I fare against your wounds

Soon I'll grow

And here I am
A decade in the making

I know this hurts you
And just know, it hurts me too
No matter what my eyes may say
There's a hole in my chest that a blind man couldn't mistake
Sometimes eyes can misspeak
Excuse me?
I didn't quite hear yours

You would rather be feared than loved
You would rather be feared than loved
You would rather be feared than loved

Your mistakes still define my life
Drink my view of you
I guess I'm still just a child

And now, all of a sudden, we're happy
A picture-perfect family, ignore the lifelong damage to your psyche
It's better for everyone if we never talk about it
So, wipe your tears and smile like you mean it

It hurts so much
And I don't want to watch you die
So, please, just stop
