[Verse 1]
You say it's the words, the words
That we didn't speak
But it's mostly the words that you didn't keep
The mistake's being me, I didn't see
All of the smoke and the mirrors being reflected off of me
[Chorus]
Somebody should have told me
Darkness is key
Somebody should have showed me
How was I supposed to see
That even as you think you're breaking
And even as your voice is shaking
I am not the only
That is what somebody should have told me
[Verse 2]
Dancing in a haze
We pretend to be just fine
While inside in disbelief
I'm lost with no cause
Just like my, my mother before me
I needed some peace, someone to believe
See the same as me
[Chorus]
Somebody should have told me
Darkness is key
Somebody should have showed me
How was I supposed to see
That even as you think you're breaking
And even as your voice is shaking
I am not the only
That is what somebody should have told me
[Bridge]
My will is pure, I adore
Grief and give all of me
All I have, all I am and all I wish to be
To be part, to be part of your harmony
Still in my mind, I'm in the corner singing off key
Hey
[Chorus]
Somebody should have told me
Darkness is key
Somebody should have showed me
How was I supposed to see
That even as you think you're breaking
And even as your voice is shaking
I am not the only
That is what somebody should have told me
