In this masquerade, she can't feel the pain
Cover up her heart with a little paint
While he's pulling out a flask to hide it all away
There's nothing left to say
Chorus 1
He knows that they're drowning
She hopes that there's still something left
Let go now 'cause he's leaving
But she'd be fine pretending things were alright
Even while it's ending keep it inside
She can feel them bending
All their love is pending so what is she defending?
Even when she says she'll open her eyes
All her words are empty when she denies
That she can feel them bending
All their love is pending so what is she defending?
But she'd be fine pretending
Verse 1
Step into the light, to look him in the eye
Feeling so exposed, she tries to stay composed
But every little fight and every little lie
Is impossible to hide
Chorus 2
He knows that they're drowning
She hopes that there's still something left
Let go now 'cause he's leaving
But she'd be fine pretending things were alright
Even while it's ending keep it inside
She can feel them bending
All their love is pending, so what is she defending?
Even when she says she'll open her eyes
All her words are empty when she denies
That she can feel them bending
All their love is pending, so what is she defending?
But she'd be fine preten—
Bridge
I hate to watch her hurt, I know it isn't right
But she can find the courage to leave it all behind
I wish I had the words to help her realize
That there is just no way to bring this back to life
He knows that they're drowning
Chorus 3
But she'd be fine pretending things were alright
Even while it's ending keep it inside
She can feel them bending
All their love is pending, so what is she defending?
Even when she says she'll open her eyes
All her words are empty when she denies
That she can feel them bending
All their love is pending, so what is she defending?
But she'd be fine preten—
She'd be fine
