Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You walk in like you own the place
You go and never leave a trace
You start a thing. You walk away.
I'm the one who has to stay.
I never signed up for this.
I never got a say.
I don't even know the rules.
I just know I always pay.
[Pre-Chorus]
Running circles, running wild.
Acting like a stubborn child.
Or you've known the whole way through.
I can't tell which one is you.
[Chorus]
Stop pretending that you care.
Stop pretending you're not scared.
I never asked to find out why.
I've known since God knows when.
I ask so you have to hear it
in your own voice. Say it then.
You're not cold. You're not a wall.
You're not calculated at all.
You're just scared. That's all it is.
You've been scared through all of this.
[Verse 2]
You break things just to break them
You lie when the truth would do
You act like you've got control
I've seen the cracks come through.
And that's the part that stings.
It isn't that you planned it.
It's that you didn't think.
And I still had to stand it.
[Pre-Chorus]
Running circles, running wild.
Acting like a stubborn child.
Or you've known the whole way through.
I can't tell which one is you.
[Chorus]
Stop pretending that you care.
Stop pretending you're not scared.
I never asked to find out why.
I've known since God knows when.
I ask so you have to hear it
in your own voice. Say it then.
You're not cold. You're not a wall.
You're not calculated at all.
You're just scared. That's all it is.
You've been scared through all of this.
[Bridge]
Stop pretending that you care.
You're never really there.
I'm not asking you to stop.
I'm asking if you're aware.
Say you hated me. I'd take it.
Say you did it for a laugh.
Say there was a thought behind it.
I'd take that. I'd take half.
[Chorus]
Stop pretending that you care.
Stop pretending you're not scared.
I never asked to find out why.
I've known since God knows when.
I ask so you have to hear it
in your own voice. Say it then.
You're not cold. You're not a wall.
You're not calculated at all.
You're just scared. That's all it is.
You've been scared through all of this.
