The Cover Up
Always so fixed on creations, but you're not my creator
You pick apart the flaws you find in me
But you're broken, so focus on picking up the pieces of your state of mind
You were never there when I was by your side
Well, unlike you, the simple things in life are what I need to get by
No, no, I can't change the past (I can't change the past)
Unveil the cover-up inside of me that I've locked away (locked away)
Just to shut you out (shut you out)
But at least I held my breath (held my breath)
For long enough to find the person standing in front of me (standing in front of me)
Watching as I drown
Do you expect me (expect me) to believe (oh...)
In the depths of (depths of), of your perception?
I've got some news for you and your point of view, oh
I'm watching, I'm waiting for the strength to get me through
You put me through this hell and I'm back
I'm back to tell you that I'm just calling it quits, never been this sure in my life
No, no, I can't change the past (I can't change the past)
Unveil the cover-up inside of me that I've locked away (locked away)
Just to shut you out (shut you out)
But at least I held my breath (held my breath)
For long enough to find the person standing in front of me (standing in front of me)
Watching as I drown
(Right in front of me, watch me as I drown)
When the water froze, I built a home around my heart just to keep you warm!
But I was traded in for another one, sent back to a broken home!
No, no, I can't change the past (I can't change the past)
Unveil the cover-up inside of me that I've locked away (locked away)
Just to shut you out (shut you out)
But at least I held my breath (held my breath)
For long enough to find the person standing in front of me (standing in front of me)
Watching as I drown
(Watching as I drown right in front of me)
Watching as I drown
(Right in front of me watching as I drown)
But at least I held my breath (held my breath)
For long enough to find the person standing in front of me (standing in front of me)
Just to watch me drown
You pick apart the flaws you find in me
But you're broken, so focus on picking up the pieces of your state of mind
You were never there when I was by your side
Well, unlike you, the simple things in life are what I need to get by
No, no, I can't change the past (I can't change the past)
Unveil the cover-up inside of me that I've locked away (locked away)
Just to shut you out (shut you out)
But at least I held my breath (held my breath)
For long enough to find the person standing in front of me (standing in front of me)
Watching as I drown
Do you expect me (expect me) to believe (oh...)
In the depths of (depths of), of your perception?
I've got some news for you and your point of view, oh
I'm watching, I'm waiting for the strength to get me through
You put me through this hell and I'm back
I'm back to tell you that I'm just calling it quits, never been this sure in my life
No, no, I can't change the past (I can't change the past)
Unveil the cover-up inside of me that I've locked away (locked away)
Just to shut you out (shut you out)
But at least I held my breath (held my breath)
For long enough to find the person standing in front of me (standing in front of me)
Watching as I drown
(Right in front of me, watch me as I drown)
When the water froze, I built a home around my heart just to keep you warm!

No, no, I can't change the past (I can't change the past)
Unveil the cover-up inside of me that I've locked away (locked away)
Just to shut you out (shut you out)
But at least I held my breath (held my breath)
For long enough to find the person standing in front of me (standing in front of me)
Watching as I drown
(Watching as I drown right in front of me)
Watching as I drown
(Right in front of me watching as I drown)
But at least I held my breath (held my breath)
For long enough to find the person standing in front of me (standing in front of me)
Just to watch me drown
