The silence weighs on me, it echoes in between
The space of who I am, and who I ought to be
I will let you down, there's weakness in my heart
It's best for you and I, if we leave it in the dark
In the dark… in the dark…
I say all the right things, give you a flawless golden ring
I just can't let you see, behind the veil of me
The shame of my mistakes, is why I need this masquerade
And so I beg you please, don't lift the veil of me
The silence burdens me, I see it treads on you
So give up the pretense, don't play me for a fool
I will hurt for you, let me suffer your heart
Cuz right now all I feel, is shut out in the dark
In the dark… in the dark…
You say all the right things, give me a flawless golden ring
But it don't feel true, is it the veil of you?
We all have made mistakes, please just stop this masquerade
Cuz I can see right through, through the veil of you
If I were you and you were I, I'd ask you just one more time
I'd beg of you please tell me why, this love I give, you still deny
If I were you and you were I, I'd ask you just one more time
I'd beg of you please tell me why, this love I give, you still deny
