I held your hand and wiped your tears
Whispering lies we both longed to believe
I wish I’d had more to offer than all these years
But the hollow space within me is within you, too
We didn’t know the path to happiness
But let’s both pretend now that we do
We’ll just peel another layer of skin off
(we are tough enough)
And begin anew
