Lyrics

I can’t pretend

Choose how it ends You slipped away Questions here to stay

In fear In sorrow In fear In sorrow

I can’t pretend Consumed by an ends Try bend the rules Rips out the cruels

In fear In sorrow In fear In sorrow

I can’t pretend Choose how it ends You slipped away Questions here to stay

In sorrow In fear In sorrow In fear

In fear In sorrow In fear In sorrow
