Even If

I should have seen there was nothing in this
The gifts we've given full of regret
And all the time I'll never have again
Have the plan all etched out in my head
But what happens when these things are dead?
Questioning what's real and pretend

(Pre-chorus)
Have to reach my shore
And hold on to what I adore
If I know what's real
Why can't I allow myself to feel?

(Chorus)
Even if the moment's lost its grace
I'd still have nothing to explain
Even with my hands bound in disdain
I'd brave the sunrise for your ways

Forget this all
Tarnish beauty
Turn away
Cause I can't be

That glimpse of me has left me wanting more
And I could never close that door
On what I've known and felt before

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

Forget this all
Tarnish beauty
Turn away
Cause I can't be
Nothing is what I believe
Chip away at the perfect things
Despite what this means to me
I know this can't fly with broken wings

Holding on
Stepping away
Breathing in
And being free

How many times can I look at myself in disgust?
Second guessing all the trust
Just have to let my flaws and regrets rust

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

Forget this all
Tarnish beauty
Turn away
Cause I can't be
Nothing is what I believe
Chip away at the perfect things
Despite what this means to me
I know this can't fly when broken
