Time is a slow sword that can pierce any armor As we drown our hearts hiding from the ghosts of one another It's all that I can do to keep smiling Don't hold back Could you kiss me if I was crying Don't hold back Why can't we slip out of these lies Slip into a love where fear's not choking Instead we're getting burnt like flies Who think the light will hide the fact we're broken It's all that I can do to keep smiling Don't hold back Could you kiss me if I was crying Don't hold back Can it be so hard to say I love you It's all that I can do to keep smiling Don't hold back Could you kiss me if was crying, was dying, was feeling fine Don't hold back
