denial

Caught between a rock and a hard pill to swallow
I'm sure you meant to call
No hard feelings, always tomorrow
I just wanna talk, if you got time to borrow
And I could use a friend, you're a tough act to follow

Is it denial?
Is it hope?
How do you know if it's not both?
Mm, mm

Maybe in another timeline, we make it
Passing through a mirror in the dark to chase it
God, I wish I knew you, back when I was a kid
But when you stare into me now, it feels like I did
Truth is, if you saw me, you would see me for what it is
It's not all bad, is it?

(Is it) delusion?
Is it hope?
Thought I was sure then, now I don't
Said you were sorry, months ago
But then you got farther, so who knows?
I believe you like no one else
Now it leads me not to trust myself
Mm, mmm

Everything around me looks so different now
Yet, everything about me wants to show you around
We could plants flowers in common ground
So I'm telling you now, the only way that I know how
There's a space inside my heart
Just behind the beating part
I hold a candle in the dark
Can you still see it from where you are?
