Alibi
Far-Less Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Buried beneath this smiling façade, their lies
A wound too large to hide
You've seen it,
Bleeding buy you don't care
And you salt it with your burning eyes
This fear and oppression
I don't want to be stuck in this state of mind
You're running and I follow
Why do I always do this?

Because I know it's too soon
It's too soon
But I miss you
A bad tune, misfortune, this blood you drew
All I want to do is let go
Sometimes i'm too afraid to show
You that I see through your calloused disguise
But you have run out of alibis

Buried beneath this smiling façade, their lies
A wound too large to hide
You've seen it,
Bleeding but you don't care
And you salt it with your burning eyes
You bend me
You break me
I'm hiding away with the hope that I will lay to rest
And never open my eyes
Why would you make me feel this?

Because I know it's too soon
It's too soon
But I miss you
A bad tune, misfortune, this blood you drew
All I want to do is let go
Sometimes i'm too afraid to show
You that I see through your calloused disguise
But you have run out of alibis

Would you ever care about me the way I care for you?
(I care for me too much to care for you)
Would you ever share everything the way I share with you?
(I'll keep with me what I would share with you)
Would you ever walk beside of me, so I can make it through?
(Alone I crawl, too proud to walk with you)




I can't do this alone
(I can't do this alone)
