On the outside, you’re alive
On the inside, you are crawling
A lifetime of planning
Can be cancelled in a moment
Now my home is breaking
Ground is crumbling underneath
Can’t carry on this way

I release you
And call this love
Cannot fix my quiet one

I know you don’t really mean it
I know you don’t really mean it

I have a hammer and a nail
For an ocean of despair
I am useless here
And it feels so unfair
Wondering what I was missing
Was I writing you in?
Were you my invention?

I release you
And call this love
I cannot fix my quiet one

I know you don’t really mean it
I know you don’t really mean it

Secrets will kill us
We’re dying in the dark
My love can let you go
It wasn’t made to hold you down
It wasn’t made to hold you down

I release you, I call this love
I release you, and I call this love
I know you don’t really mean it (Don't really mean it)
I know you don't
I know you don’t really mean it (Don't really mean it)
I know you don't
