Words Lyrics

You say it's the words
The words that we didn't speak
But it's mostly the words that you didn't keep
The mistakes being me I didn't see
All of the smoke and the mirrors being reflected off of meSomebody should have told me
Darkness is key
Somebody should have showed me
How was I supposed to see?That even as you think you're breaking
And even as your voice is shaking
I am not the only
That's what somebody should have told meDancing in a haze
We pretend to be just fine
While inside in disbelief
I'm lost with no cause
Just like my, my mommy before me
In need of some peace
Someone to believe
See the same as meSomebody should have told me

Darkness is key
Somebody should have showed me
I am not the only
That's what somebody should have told meMy will is pure
I adore
Grief and give all of me
All I have, all I am, and all I wish to be
To be part, to be part of your harmony
Still in my mind, I'm in the corner singing off key
HeySomebody should have told me
Darkness is key
Somebody should have showed me
How was I supposed to see?That even as you think you're breaking
And even as your voice is shaking
I am not the only
That's what somebody should have told me
