lyrics

For all they've done for you you force them out into the flood
Pushing on your veins like they're all a venom in your blood
Time to recognize there's a compromise you haven't seen
Tear it all apart until there's nothing left to see

You don't realize it
But it's not that surprising, yeah

It all starts with a lie that you make for yourself when the cards are on the table
When your eye's on the prize, no you can't deny that you'd take it if you're able
Got your ace in the hand but you can't understand why the dealer's got your number
Better take what you can and lay down your hand before they all go under

You don't realize it
But it's so tantalizing, yeah

This is just my testament
To the truth within the evidence
When everything's gotta fall apart
You can trust your heart

Got your eyes open wide in the middle of the night and your mind it starts to wander
Was it always right? Is it black, is it white? Is it all your biggest blunder?
By first light you're afraid that you could never change if you're only starting over
You can't see the light inside your heart you're waiting to discover

You don't realize it
But you're done compromising, yeah

This is just my testament
To the truth within the evidence
When everything's gotta fall apart
You can trust your heart
