Silhouettes

[Verse 1]

You wrote your name in invisible ink

For you were so afraid of what they might think

But the scars they left, they were loud and clear, weren't they?

Weren't they?

[Verse 2]

When it's too much to bear, memories erase

A disappearing act, deserving of our thanks

When it surfaces, just hold your breath and swim

Just swim

[Verse 3]

You begged and begged for some kind of change

Maybe they'd wake up tomorrow and regret the pain

That they've passed down to you like DNA, but no luck

No luck

[Verse 4]

It seems only by the hand of God or death

Will they truly change their silhouettes

For a miracle or a consequence you wait

And wait

[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]

Maybe distance is the only cure

Far away from hurt is where healing occurs

But all you really wanna do is make them proud, don't you?

Don't you?

[Verse 6]

It must be so hard, in the mess you're always cleaning up

To believe in the ghost of unbroken love

But I promise you the truth is that you're loved

So loved

You're loved

So loved
