War Paint

[Verse 1] I've still got passion, and I've still got guts But I no longer give a fuck about what you want You say I'm a savior and a saint Then let's stop pretending and pull out the war paint Or do you refuse to open old wounds In fear that you'll actually have to feel [Chorus 1] We try so hard, we try to just pretend That things didn't change as the honeymoon set This house, this ring, the secrets shared in bed Were built on the faith in the foundation And I feel the bend [Verse 2] The fucking more I see who you've become The more I lose sight of the love That I once had in your brown eyes I used to be afraid that this would end Now I embrace it We are ships passing through the night [Chorus 1] [Bridge] I see bright lights flicker ahead I see stars shining to their death I see you And I don't know what to do [Chorus 2] Beautiful sunset, passionate kiss These things mean nothing when you cannot come to terms with The person who you are, and who you're meant to be Are separated by a sea of insecurities I've been digging out from underneath An avalanche that has taken twenty years to see Our reality is our own to create And the sooner that you realize that The sooner that you can change [Bridge] Or history will just hit repeat And you will pass your poison down onto your child's feet And they will struggle, struggle to breathe Cowering in shadows that you cast they cannot see [Chorus 2] [Outro] I won't repeat. I won't repeat I won't repeat the things that I can change I won't repeat. I won't repeat I won't repeat the things that I can change
