Lyrics

Father, I broke The one thing you held close Not gold or gemstones But your trust 'Cuz I've been wearing A mask of good intentions To hide the coward I am [CHORUS]: It's a quiet war we fight I can see it in your eyes When I tell you I love you, you say "How can I trust you?" Like a bomb, we're falling out Like a bomb, we're falling out Mother, I made You cry tears of pain I'm less like your son And more like a stranger 'Cuz I've been living A life of false impressions I'm no saint I'm no clean slate [CHORUS] I was the stone that fell off the corner And brought the whole house down I was the brick that couldn't trust the mortar To hold the weight, so I ran away [CHORUS]
