The Pact

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'ma let you in on a little secret, I'm so afraid Of letting my skeletons out, so I bottle them in But I know it's gonna get out in the worst way, so I gave in Now I'm gonna be an open book for you to read [Pre-Chorus] The longer I stay numb, the longer I don't have to think much I never have to think about my father And how he walked out on us How I barely know my mother, for that I'm ashamed Afraid of what they think of me, so I stay away Let's make a pact right here, right now [Chorus] You keep your hopes up that I can change Well, I stay honest, you do the same I'll keep my purpose, you keep your faith That we can get through this These tougher days, these tougher days [Verse 2] I always felt that you won't understand, so I bled out quietly The medicine held my hand and made me feel like I can stand up The toll it's taking on my chest now Bridges burning and chances left out List of things that I regret now Build up this resentment [Pre-Chorus] The longer I stay numb, the longer I don't have to think much Never have to think about my father and how he walked out on us How I barely know my mother, for that I'm ashamed Afraid of what they think of me, so I stay away [Chorus] You keep your hopes up that I can change Well, I stay honest, you do the same I'll keep my purpose, you keep your faith That we can get through this, these tougher days [Bridge] Listen, let's make a pact right here, right now Let's make a pact right here, right now [Chorus] You keep your hopes up that I can change Well, I stay honest, you do the same I'll keep my purpose, you keep your faith That we can get through this, these tougher days
