[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever reach you
Or if now you're just gone for good
If I'll ever see you smile again
It's on a wing and a prayer
Babe but I will be there
Letting you know I care
If I could just break through the glass
If it shatters in my hands
Then it shatters in my hands
It's a risk I'm willing to take
Baby, I'm about to break because
[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t go on, I can't go on, I can't go on
I can't keep pretending that I'm ok
Watching you slip away
[Chorus]
Why'd you have to go there? Why do you lie?
Why'd you answer in questions whenever I ask you why?
Don't act like you're so hard to find
I know where you hidе, I know where you hide
Why won't you just stay with mе? Why do you lie?
Why's there always something keeping you up at night?
Don't act like you're so hard to find
I know where you hide, I know where you hide
[Post-Chorus]
In the blue hours
[Verse 2]
I wish that I could crawl inside of your head
Stumble round see what I can find
Which of your synapses deceive
That seem to tie you in knots
Tangled in all you forgot
And all you cannot see
Is the person who's standing there
Right in front of me
If you could only see yourself for a second it could change
[Pre-Chorus]
But no I can't go on, I can't go on, I can't go on
I can't keep pretending that I'm ok
Watching you slip away
[Bridge]
Trying to hold these two truths in my head
Both the darkness and the light
Please don't expect them to play nice
[Chorus]
Why'd you have to go there? Why do you lie?
Why'd you answer in questions whenever I ask you why?
Don't act like you're so hard to find
I know where you hide, I know where you hide
Why won't you just stay with me? Why do you lie?
Why's there always something keeping you up at night?
Don't act like you're so hard to find
I know where you hide, I know where you hide
[Chorus]
Why'd you have to go there? Why do you lie?
Why'd you answer in questions whenever I ask you why?
Don't act like you've got nothing to hide
I know where you hide, I know where you hide
Why won't you just stay with me? Why do you lie?
Why's there always something keeping you up at night?
Don't act like you're so hard to find
I know where you hide, I know where you hide
[Post-Chorus]

Andrew Davie:
This was the first song Kev and I demoed together, and we were like, ‘We really want to call the album this.’ There was something about the mood of those two words. This song has been on such a journey. The first demo we did was absolutely bananas. My demo before that was just a piano...
