Burned Out Youth - If You Could Only Lyrics

My darling I feel we're missing the best part of this conversation
I fancy the way you fluctuate in my mind, despite the complication
Oh honey I suggest we don't see each other for now, this situation could tear us down
How can't you see my sincerity turned to hesitation?
Lost in contemplation
I'm fading away with the lights
Beneath the surface
And hiding in plain sight
Trepidation
The light is dimming inside
Still I surrender
To the ghost of the past
Motions of your face in my head move in ways I couldn't imagine to be true
The lines depicted on your face are secrets I can't manage to read through
I find myself asking about what could make the faintest impression on you
Trying to change my attitude in your whereabouts, you don't have a clue
Lost in contemplation
I'm fading away with the lights
Beneath the surface
And hiding in plain sight
(You know how to fight
You know how to seduce
In this dance of fires
We both know I'm gonna lose
I'm tryna speak my mind
But I just sound confused
The words that come out feel so empty and overused)
Trepidation
The light is dimming inside
Still I surrender
To the ghost of the past
(Neither of us is right
No matter the excuse
It's not all black or white
Let's just call a truce
I'm still true to my plight
Why don't we just get loose
Walk past this blight)
If you could only read in my mind
