Forced Smiles - Facts Lyrics

You said you've gotta leave forever, or at least you won't be coming back to me
You tell me that it's for the best, for reasons that are still not clear to me
Walking through a cemetery, reading names of people I don't know
And I can't feel you look over my shoulder

So let me know how it goes
You looked fine, but of course you know
I'll hold you here in my mind
It's all so clear why I idolize

Yeah I can write a song about it, every single night for the next week
But that won't change a thing about it, I'll still be out here lying in the weeds
Holed up in my friend's apartment, downtown so there's people all around
That feeling keeps me safe till this blows over

So drop me off, you turn to go
Change your name, so you can leave home
It's killing me, every time you smile
Lie to me, for a little while

As the mirror starts to shatter, facts begin to matter
You're staring out the window of the backseat of her car
Still wondering if there's something you could say

As I'm staring at the picture, I begin to miss her
It's over now, you're never gonna see that face again
There's nothing left that you could even say
