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
