Two Face Now

Verse 1

I've been holding up the ceiling

With both hands for years

Smiling at the dinner table

While I swallowed all my tears

Pre-Chorus

Every year I tried to keep it steady

Every year I told myself I'm ready

You kept pulling back the second I got close

Chorus

So I wore two faces

One for you and one for me

I wore two faces

Acting like we were happy

While the back of the house was burning down

You pushed me away

You pushed me away

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

You pushed me away

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

I learned to read your silence

Like a language I was fluent in

Said the weather's getting better

When the storm was creeping in

Pre-Chorus

Every fight I smoothed the edges over

Every night I pulled you closer

You kept slipping out the second I held on

Chorus

So I wore two faces

One for you and one for me

I wore two faces

Acting like we were happy

While the back of the house was burning down

You pushed me away

You pushed me away

Bridge

I gave you my mornings

My seasons my patience

I gave you the version

That never complained

And still you let go

Chorus

I wore two faces

One for you and one for me

I wore two faces

Pretending we were fine

While the back of the house was caving in

You pushed me away

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

You pushed me away

Oh-oh-oh

Outro

It ended on a Tuesday

Quiet like a closing door

I stopped acting

And you didn't fight for more

It ended

It ended
