Well I've tried to frame these thoughts inside a storybook ending
Well they've been drawn and we're all caught in this
Trap of just pretending
That everything's been kept so far out of reach
But I never paid attention to the words that they all preached
Have they told you talk is cheap?
So keep on talking like you think you know what I hold deep
It's time we break apart the spell and all the secrets that we keep
Our ghosts come out full force when I've been least expecting
And haunting every one of my dreams in a fight I'm not defending
And they tried to warn me right from the start
Yet I followed intuition and wound up with so much less heart
Have they told you talk is cheap?
So keep on talking like you think you know what I hold deep
It's time we break apart the spell and all the secrets that we keep
Your presence should have no effect here anymore
I've seen straight through your shit and I've never been so sore
So give me back the last ten years
And with the pride I still have left
I promise I won't become another victim of your theft
Your picture's burning and I'm still learning how to keep my distance
Your picture's burning and I'm still learning how to keep my distance
I'm gonna keep my distance
