Lyrics
Paint
I'm feeling a little bit vulnerable
I'm shaking a little bit scared
I never really knew
You considered me an option
I never really knew you
Superimpose your fragile truths
offset the results with my lies
I'm glued to a promise
i know you'll never make come true
8:23 and this town is still standing
I'm surprised it hasn't come to explode
On top of one another
I had a nice time but let's leave it at that
but I should really try to find a way home
I'm too damn bored with you to go that extra smile
That's why once in a while I find
I'm feeling a little bit vulnerable
I'm shaking a little bit scared
I never really knew it was the moment of truth for us
I never really knew you cared
I never really knew you
In between the sessions and the silence
and the moments of intensity thought
I never really knew you were trying to catch me
I never really thought I'd get caught
I never really knew you
