The Dawn Retreat - The Facts in Fiction Lyrics

Everyone gathered around
To see if what
You were saying
Happened to be true
But truth was never up to you
And now we all are
Questioning the love of a father
When your lips say one thing
But we know that her scars will say another
And they said
He said, "sweetie
You know you look so pretty bleeding
The red running down
Brings out the color in your eyes
When I was your age
Baby, you know that I took beatings
Keep this secret safe
You're never gonna die"
Everyone gathered here
To see if the words we said
To save her life
Would keep her right here
And now we all
(And now we all)
Think that it could be your fault
When she lied to your face
Said it's okay
But we know that her scars still say
He said, "sweetie
You know you look so pretty bleeding
The red running down
Brings out the color in your eyes
When I was your age
Baby, you know that I took beatings
So keep this secret safe
You're never gonna die"
And when she comes back to you
Her tears will be yours
When she said
"He's just like you"
And when she comes back to you
Her tears will be yours
When she said
"He's just like you"
He said, "sweetie
You know you look so pretty bleeding
The red running down
Brings out the color in your eyes
When I was your age
Baby, you know that I took beatings
So keep this secret safe
You're never gonna die"
So many millions of faces
(He said, "sweetie, you know you look so pretty bleeding)
Replaced by graves
(The red running down brings out the color in your eyes)
We swore there was no one to blame for it
(When I was your age)
This was our fault
(Baby, you know that I took beatings)
This was my fault
(Keep this secret safe, you're never gonna die")
You could have been saved
