Standard (EADGBE)
Verse1
Lying next to you, wishing I could disappear, hey
Let you fall asleep, and vanish out into thin air, hey
Pre-chorus
It's the elephant in the room, and we pretend that we don't see it
It's an avalanche that looms above our heads, and we don't believe it
Chorus
Trying to be perfect, trying not to let you down, yeah
Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now, yeah
While the floors underneath our feet are crumbling
The walls we built together are tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
'Cause it's easier than telling the truth
Interlude
Verse2
I still keep your photographs, I remember how we used to laugh
I can keep on losing sleep, if you're okay with being torn in half
Pre-chorus
It's the elephant in the room, and we pretend that we don't see it
It's an avalanche that looms above our heads, and we don't believe it
Chorus
Trying to be perfect, trying not to let you down, yeah
Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now, yeah
While the floors underneath our feet are crumbling
The walls we built together are tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
'Cause it's easier than telling the truth
Bridge
Stop ignoring that our hearts are mourning, and let the rain come in
Stop pretending that it's not ending, and let the end begin
Oh yeah
Chorus
Trying to be perfect, trying not to let you down, yeah
Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now, yeah
While the floors underneath our feet are crumbling
The walls we built together are tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
'Cause it's easier than telling the truth
Outro
It's easier than telling the truth.
