Solitaire

[Verse 1] I can pretend for you, that I mean every word said it's true That I'd probably rather be like a stranger in disguise [Pre-Chorus 2] And act as if nothing ever Died or faded away, got lonelier with age and time isn't on our side [Chorus 1] I'm sorry to take the thoughts that keep you awake And make it seem like they're overrated You certainly talk about me more when I fall down And when I get up, my time is never enough Loved in front, behind my back hated, I guess it has everything to do with luck [Verse 2] I can defend the truth but I sound like white noise to my friends As I raise my glass to you in a stupor we speak words That couldn't be more honest [Pre-Chorus 2] Lies we lived before fights without a war, I'm dead when it's in your head [Chorus 2] I'm starting to think that all the buoys we sink Are cutting our chances of being saved I see that the end is all we have to let us know I'd like to believe in something more than a dream So [for] when the will to be one has faded I guess the truth will soon be deceived My friend that isn't there, my solitaire
