Truth be told

Intro

Verse

Staring at the rain through a clouded glass

Empty bottles lying on the porch and grass

Think I saw your car parked across the street

Half a second felt like a heavy retreat

I was reaching for a hand that isn't there

Felt the weight of all the words we didn't share

Burned a picture that I kept in my wallet

Still can't find a better way to call it

Pre-Chorus

Everything we built

Gone in a flash

Sifting through the silt

Living in the ash

You took the heat

Left me the cold

Incomplete

Truth be told

Chorus

Washed away by the rising tide

Got nowhere left for us to hide

Walking home in a tattered shirt

Trying hard to outrun the hurt

It's a hollow sound in a quiet room

Like a flower that'll never bloom

Yeah it's over now

Yeah it's over now

Drop

Yeah it's over

Over now

Verse

Check the phone every time the light glows

Checking on a fire that everybody knows

Is a pile of embers in a darkened hallway

Looking for a reason just to make you stay

Footsteps fading down the backstairs

Running through the ghosts and the nightmares

Nothing's simple like it was before

Counting every crack along the floor

Pre-Chorus

Everything we built

Gone in a flash

Sifting through the silt

Living in the ash

You took the heat

Left me the cold

Incomplete

Truth be told

Chorus

Washed away by the rising tide

Got nowhere left for us to hide

Walking home in a tattered shirt

Trying hard to outrun the hurt

It's a hollow sound in a quiet room

Like a flower that'll never bloom

Yeah it's over now

Yeah it's over now

Drop

Over now

Yeah it's over

Chorus

Washed away by the rising tide

Got nowhere left for us to hide

Walking home in a tattered shirt

Trying hard to outrun the hurt

It's a hollow sound in a quiet room

Like a flower that'll never bloom

Yeah it's over now

Yeah it's over now
