[Verse]
I'm scared to walk alone to my car in the evening
And if I'm honest, I never feel safe when I'm alone
I go to work to leave that fear behind in the morning, but
Then I realize, this is the real world
[Pre-Chorus]
My ghosts, they live and breathe
My ghosts keep haunting me
I've seen them since I was ten
It's on you that I'm praying
Cut me loose from these darker days
It's on you
[Chorus]
It's not how you paint it, it's the pain of making
And we're told to fake it and just lie, lie, lie, lie
It's the way you say it, it's what you created
And we're told to take it and just lie, lie, lie, lie
[Verse]
I'm over making excuses for all your misbehavior
It's a tired story of a misspent youth and
I'm tired of speaking, knowin' that no one around me is listening
And then I realize, this is the real world
[Pre-Chorus]
My ghosts, they live and breathe
My ghosts keep haunting me
Cuz there's one thing left on you
It's on you that I'm praying
Cut me loose from these darker days
It's on you
[Chorus]
It's not how you paint it, it's the pain of making
And we're told to fake it and just lie, lie, lie, lie
It's the way you say it, it's what you created
And we're told to take it and just lie, lie, lie, lie
[Bridge]
My ghosts keep haunting me
My ghosts keep haunting me
My ghosts
[Chorus]
It's not how you paint it, it's the pain of making
And we're told to fake it and just lie, lie, lie, lie
It's the way you say it, it's what you created
And we're told to take it and just lie, lie, lie, lie
[Outro]
(It's on you that I'm praying
Cut me loose from these darker days)
And just lie, lie, lie, lie
(It's on you)
It's the way you say it, it's what you created
And we're told to take it and just lie, lie, lie, lie
