Lyric

Hey… if you’re watching, say something

Don’t go quiet when it suits you

This voice that sounds like a prayer

Is it reaching anywhere?

That thing you call salvation

Is it even working at all?

In a world this twisted and worn

What am I supposed to believe?

Truth always shows up too late

Pain gets here first

The more I expect anything

The more it just hurts

Not a vow, vow, vow

I won’t swear, I won’t swear

Watch it break, watch it fall

“Forever” was never there

Not a vow, vow, vow

Still I’m standing right here

This world is cruel as hell—

But I won’t disappear

Hey… if you’re watching, tell me this

Was it always meant to be like this?

Even the cracks in my chest

Part of your perfect script?

This heat they call love

Keeps bending everything out of shape

Still there was one thing

I just couldn’t let slip away

The future’s blurred out and distant

The past won’t leave me alone

Hope is just a word we use

When we don’t really know

Not a vow, vow, vow

I won’t swear, I won’t swear

Watch it break, watch it fall

“Forever” was never there

Not a vow, vow, vow

Still I’m standing right here

This world is cruel as hell—

But I won’t disappear

Something’s quietly wearing me down

Even when I pretend I don’t see

All the answers I never chose

Are still haunting me

I scream “somebody save me”

But it never leaves my lungs

Still I’m here—

Still breathing

Not a vow, vow, vow

I won’t swear, I won’t swear

I won’t even say your name

Still I feel it there

Not a vow, vow, vow

Still I’m standing right here

This world is cruel as hell—

But it’s beautiful anyway
