The Pact (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]

I'mma let you in on a secret, I'm so afraid

Of letting my skeletons out, so I bottle them in

But I know it's gonna get out in the worst way, so I gave in

I'm gonna be an open book for you to read

[Pre-Chorus]

The longer I stay numb, the longer I don't have to think much

I never have to think about my father, how he walked out on us

How I barely know my mother, for that I'm ashamed

Scared of what they think of me, so I stay away

Let's make a pact right here, right now

[Chorus 1]

You keep your hopes up that I can change

Well, I stay honest, you do the same

I'll keep my purpose, you keep your faith

That we can get through this

These tougher days, these tougher days

[Verse 2]

I always felt that you won't understand, so I bled out quietly

The medicine held my hand and made me feel like I can stand up

The toll it's taking on my chest now

Bridges burning and chances left out

List of things that I regret now

Build up this resentment

[Pre-Chorus]

The longer I stay numb, the longer I don't have to think much

I never have to think about my father, how he walked out on us

How I barely know my mother, for that I'm ashamed

Scared of what they think of me, so I stay away

[Chorus 2]

You keep your hopes up that I can change

Well, I stay honest, you do the same

I'll keep my purpose, you keep your faith

That we can get through this, these tougher days

[Bridge]

Listen, let's make a pact right here, right now

Let's make a pact right here, right now

[Chorus 2]

You keep your hopes up that I can change

Well, I stay honest, you do the same

I'll keep my purpose, you keep your faith

We can get through this, these tougher days

[Outro]

You keep your hopes up that I can change
