This is a single written by Tate McRae based on a creative challenge, to write an entire song based off one word. The word she chose for this particular song was ‘guilt’.
[Verse 1]
Thought if I ignored it, it'd fade away
Thought that it'd be sorted if I didn't stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Thought if I numbed it all, I wouldn't have to face it
But guess what?
The more you hide, the more it breaks you
[Chorus]
But it just got harder to move
When the walls came in, there was no excuse
I was so far from the truth
You knew me better than I knew you
[Post-Chorus]
And I fell apart, fell apart
Fell apart right there
And you saw my heart, saw my heart
You saw my heart bare
[Verse 2]
Told myself it wouldn't hurt if I just stayed hollow
But I got stuck in my words and it burned to swallow
[Pre-Chorus]
Thought if I numbed it all, I wouldn't have to face it
But guess what?
The more you hide, the more it breaks you
[Chorus]
And it just got harder to move
When the walls came in, there was no excuse
I was so far from the truth
You knew me better than I knew you
[Post-Chorus]
So I fell apart, fell apart
Fell apart right there
And you saw my heart, saw my heart
You saw my heart bare
