[Verse 1]
You're so good at being noticed
When there's no one around
Skeletons hangin' in your closet
But they won't make a sound

Bathed in self-preservation
Like you're runnin' on fumes
Your back has all of my attention
I'm here for you

[Pre-Chorus]
Open, open, let them hit the floor
Hard to make a little room for more

[Chorus]
You cross your fingers when you lie
You still can't look me in the eyes though
Hiding trouble with a smile
I know you better than your shadow

You keep telling mе you're fine
Why we gotta do this еvery time?
You cross your fingers when you lie
I know you better than your shadow
[Verse 2]
They're not puttin' on a show now
While you're cuttin' your hair
Years from now, there'll be a fallout
Hold me back if I care

Tough love never had a balance
Soft enough so you stay
I'm a long-lost messenger for parents
That want to change

[Pre-Chorus]
Would a little sadden every bone?
So maybe one day you can say you don't

[Chorus]
You cross your fingers when you lie
You still can't look me in the eyes though
Hiding trouble with a smile
I know you better than your shadow

You keep telling me you're fine
Why we gotta do this every time?
You cross your fingers when you lie
I know you better than your shadow
[Post-Chorus]
Tell me what you tell yourself
What you tell nobody else
Tell me what you tell yourself
