Boy Named Bri :: Lyrics

With You

If you can't say something true, then why say anything at all?
I see right through the mask they wear...

And you're still holding onto hope for tomorrow,
Like there's a chance that all of this will suddenly just go away.
No.
They say that the first step to ever getting better is to acknowledge the fact that you've been wrong.
So let's do that.
Let's do it now and get it over with.

You have the eyes of someone who knows better.
We see and hear, but we don't believe anything.
But I would like to trust someone, so maybe we could prove them wrong?
Or at least pretend there's something more than feeling like I'm all alone.
We still have to face our demons,
But I'd rather face mine with you.

If you look them in the eyes, you'll see right through.
So how could it mean anything?
The things they say to you are only words.

So what if my voice is a little bit softer?
I speak up a little bit slower then the others do.
Look me in the eyes and I'll shy away.
I won't even pretend to be happy with the compromises I've made.
And neither should you.

Your voice hints at the innocence we once had.
Your eyes have seen too much but still I'm drawn to them.
I really need to trust someone.
So if I'm getting through at all at least give this consideration.
It's not the line that most boys use.
I'm broken, I'll admit,
But I'd rather be broken with you.
