Bm G D A It's the elephant in the room and we pretend that we don't see it... Bm G Em A It's the avalanche that looms above our heads, that we don't believe in... [Chorus] D Bm A G Trying to be perfect, trying not to let you down, yeah... D Bm A G Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now, yeah. Bm G While the floors underneath our feet are crumbling, D A the walls we built together, tumbling, Bm G Em I still stand here holding up the roof, A cuz it's easier than telling the truth... Bm G D A... [Verse 2] D Bm A G I still keep your photographs, I remember how we used to laugh... D Bm A G I can keep on losing sleep if you're ok with being torn in half.

A Bm G D A... It's easier than telling the truth...
