[VERSE 1]
Look two ways before you cross
Look behind before you’ve lost
All that you’re meant to be and all that you aren’t
Seasons change so why’re you scared?
When I break rules that aren’t there?
Does it really matter if I’m not what you thought?

Thing is

[PRE-CHORUS]
Maybe you were wrong
Maybe I’m a little selfish
Maybe you were wrong
And maybe I don’t like myself cause
It gets hard to be nice
I’ve gotta tell myself twice to
Be the bigger person
But now I don’t think it’s worth it

[CHORUS]
Tried my best just to keep it locked away
So I wouldn’t have to watch your face
When you realized that I wasn’t what I should be

Changing faces and hiding under my sheets
So you wouldn’t have to see me
Barely holding on, I’m not as strong as you like to view me

[VERSE 2]
Switched off the tv when it got too bright for you
Hold back and smile and say it’s alright for you
Filter what I say even if you say that you can handle it but we both know that’s not true
Kept it together just to be there for you
Stand aside in rooms to give more room for you
Put my feelings all on hold to put on a show, the curtain’s closing

[PRE-CHORUS]
Maybe you were wrong
It’s not what I need or want, it’s serving
Maybe you were wrong
When you say it’s the way it works ‘cause
It’s so hard to keep down
All the anger inside me
It doesn’t get much better when you hide it, see I’m learning

[CHORUS]
Tried my best just to keep it locked away
So I wouldn’t have to watch your face
When you realized that I wasn’t what I should be

Changing faces and hiding under my sheets
So you wouldn’t have to see me
Barely holding on, I’m not as strong as you like to view me

[BRIDGE]
I paint a picture in my room
Where I pretend that all the strings are tuned
And all the pain and everything that I went through was worth it

Flowers that I plant all bloom
And I get justice for my youth
A place where every prayer, hope, and wish i made is heard

[CHORUS]
Tried my best just to keep it locked away
But it’s finally bursting at the seams
From holding on to things that never really served me

I hope that one day this falls into place
And I won’t have to cry at pictures that I paint
‘Cause it reminds me of who I never will be

But It’ll pass, like a ripple
It’ll pass, like a ripple
It’ll pass
