Calling Out Closer Wishes lyrics

Talk real slow like it's gonna be
Hard to choke out the words you wrote
All of the ways you spoke
Keep cards close like I'm trying to
Play my own at your expense, head low
Like you've always been on your own

[pre-ch]
I just wish you could be honest
We could've stopped this
You settled for silence
If I had just three wishes
Two would be missing
And you'd keep it quiet

[ch]
I wish you the best but it's only wishes
I leave you the rest but I'm only leaving
It's all wishes and fiction
You stay living what you've written

[v2]

Here we go keep pretending for
Each new show, lose a little of what I'd known
Turn a little more to stone
Your hand holds only faces who
Said they know what keeps you afloat
Above the games you throw

I could let this go but
I can't keep you close
Time brings peace of mind that
I can't find behind these lies
So I can't let this go but
I could keep you close
Time numbs telltale signs of
What we hoped we'd never find

You say things won't change
But I'm on my way
Making yours a distant name
