"I Know You Don't Mean It" lyrics

"I Know You Don't Mean It"

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'm 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.I call this love
I know you don't really mean it
I know you don't
I know you don't really mean it
I know you don't
