[Verse 1]
Holiness, it's invited
But loneliness, we all hide it
And bitterness is what we store inside
Fragile parts, we all drown in
Our darkest thoughts, it's so crowded
By the wants that we keep inside
[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Cause your mouth may smile but your eyes beg to differ
Your words persuade me, but your soul still shivers
Your tone, it warns me just to walk away
You tear apart everything you've done and
You dissipate the very things that you once held onto
[Chorus 1]
Don't let it get a grip on you
Don't let it get a grip on you
Don't let it get a grip on
[Verse 2]
Through your teeth you disguise
A portrait of idolized
Versions of yourself in this life
It's in your chest, oh it aches
The care that starts to vacate
Through your eyes that have rusted over twice
[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Cause your mouth may smile but your eyes beg to differ
Your words persuade me, but your soul still shivers
Your tone, it warns me just to walk away
You tear apart everything you've done and
You dissipate the very things that you once held onto
[Chorus 2]
Don't let it get a grip on you
Don't let it get a grip on you
Don't let it get a grip on you
Don't let it get a grip on you
[Bridge]
Run away, run away
"You don't see me", they say
Run away, run away
"You don't notice", they say
Turn away, turn away
"You don't notice", they say
Turn away, turn and run away
"You don't see me", they say
Don't let it get a grip on you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Your mouth may smile but you're eyes beg to differ
Your words persuade me, but your soul still shivers
Your tone, it warns me just to walk away
Don't let it get a grip on you
You tear apart everything you've done and
You dissipate the very things that you once held onto
[Chorus 3]
Don't let it get a grip on you
Don't let it get a grip on you
Don't let it get a grip on you
Let it get a, let it get a, let it get a grip on you, yeah
Don't let it get a grip on you
Let it get a grip on-
[Outro]
Holiness, it's invited
But loneliness, we all hide it
And bitterness is what we store inside

That’s what I wanted to hear: ‘Your mouth is smiling, but your eyes beg to differ.’ I wanted someone to notice that I wasn’t OK. I was hiding behind [my vulnerability] and painting a persona that I was talking to somebody else. I think creating [music] and being real about it, people appreciate auth...
