How long till this aching goes away?
How long should I stay?
How long should I keep myself awake?
Where were you in the end?
Where were you when I said?
I'm a liar just like you and that's ok
There's nothing left to see
There's nothing left to be it's all been done
There's nothing left for you
There's nothing left for me it's all been done
There's nowhere left to hide
There's nowhere left to run
And it's all gone, it's all gone
And I, I'm a liar just like you,
And that's okay.
And I, I'm guilty, just like everyone today.
And I, I'm a liar just like you,
And That's okay.
And I, I'm guilty, just like everyone today.
Who holds on to all of this history
Nothing's new it's all been ending
Over over over again
Over over over again
Holding on to all this history
Nothing's new it's all been ending
Over over over, and again.
And I, I'm a liar just like, and that's okay.
And I, I'm guilty, just like everyone today.
Today.

The chorus of the song acknowledges that the singer is not alone in their feelings, saying, "I'm a liar just like you and that's ok. I'm guilty." This chorus suggests that what makes us human is our ability to lie and our tendency to feel guilty about it. The bridge of the song asks the question, "Who holds on to all of this history?
