"Perfect Alibi" lyrics

Are you listening?
Are you really there?
I'm open to suggestions
Do you even care?
Because within, I die
The more and more we lie
Hope seems to grow
Outside our reality of life

There's a fragile part of me
That needs some help to heal
Hold a candlelight for me
And don't let it go out

Whispering those words you like
We're lying here side by side
Secrets don't stay secret for long
We'll write the perfect alibi
And tell them all how we tried
But in the end, they'll find out anyway
So, let's make an honest mistake

Tell me, do you ever admit to it
Being more than just a dream?
Let's keep it a memory
Keep it locked behind the silver screen
I know it's wrong
But it's all feeling kind of right
Something big is changing
It's in the air tonight

There's a fragile part of me
That needs some help to heal
(Needs some help to heal)
Hold a candlelight for me
And don't let it go out

Whispering those words you like
We're lying here side by side
Secrets don't stay secret for long
We'll write the perfect alibi
And tell them all how we tried
But in the end, they'll find out anyway
So, let's make an honest mistake

We've all made some honest mistakes
Even you, the road that led me here
For you, the one who made it clear
For you, I've been struck down
And built back up pound by pound
For you, I would if I could
But you are gone and
There's nothing left to do except keep...

(Secrets don't stay secret for long)
Whispering those words you like
We're lying here side by side
Secrets don't stay secret for long
We'll write the perfect alibi
(Secrets don't stay secret for long)
And tell them all how we tried
But in the end, they'll find out anyway
(Long...)
So, let's make an honest mistake

Are you listening?
Are you even there?
