Lyrics
I just really wish that you would find someone else
The speaker wishes the person they care about would find someone else.
Know I make you happy but you're blind to my stealth
The speaker believes they make the person happy but feels unnoticed due to their secretive behavior.
The secrets and the lies is a curse for myself
The speaker sees their own secrecy and lies as a personal burden or punishment.
Tryna make it right but for now I'll pretend, I'm a good friend cause
Despite wanting to make things right, they pretend to be a good friend to avoid hurting the person by revealing the truth.
It can only hurt you if you find out
Revealing the truth might cause pain.
So don't find out
The repeated plea for the person not to discover the secrets.
Keep your eyes closed and I'll shut my mouth
Encouraging the person to remain unaware while the speaker remains silent.
Cause skeletons are scary in the real life
Comparing hidden secrets to frightening skeletons in real life.
No I don't deserve to make you cry
The speaker doesn't want to be the cause of the person's tears.
So turn a blind eye
Asking the person to ignore the truth.
Sacrifice the truth to preserve your smile
Willing to sacrifice honesty to protect the person's happiness.
Yeah I can bear the burden for my own lies
Accepting the weight of their own lies without burdening the person.
It'll hurt if I leave but it's worse if I stay
The speaker feels leaving might hurt less than staying.
Wish you'd make it easy when I'm pushing you away
Desiring the person to make it easier by not resisting when pushed away.
If the secrets of the night saw the light of the day
Fear of the hidden truths coming to light and the consequences of that revelation.
I'd bury both my eyes just to hide from your face, I'd dig my own grave cause
The extreme lengths the speaker would go to hide the truth, even if it means self-destruction.
It can only hurt you if you find out
Reiteration of the potential pain if the truth is discovered.
So don't find out
A plea to continue hiding the truth.
Keep your eyes closed and I'll shut my mouth
Similar to line 7, emphasizing the fear of revealing secrets.
Cause skeletons are scary in the real life
Reiterating the comparison of hidden secrets to frightening aspects of reality.
No I don't deserve to make you cry
Reiterating the speaker's reluctance to be the cause of the person's tears.
So turn a blind eye
Asking the person again to ignore the truth.
Sacrifice the truth to preserve your smile
Willingness to sacrifice truth to maintain the person's happiness.
Yeah I can bear the burden for my own lies
Reaffirmation of accepting responsibility for their own lies.
If you find out then I'm sorry
A willingness to apologize if the truth is revealed.
I'll tell another lie so your heart won't break
Promising to tell another lie to protect the person's feelings.
Cook you up a new plot, stewed hot, two drops
Metaphorical description of creating a new story to distract from the truth.
Feed you till your hunger for the truth stops
Attempting to satisfy the person's curiosity or need for truth with a fabricated narrative.
The silver line's getting blurry
The unclear distinction between truth and lies, causing confusion.
But I promise that I'll make it up to you someday
A promise to make amends for the deception in the future.
Then I'll let you see a few spots, you'll connect a few dots
Gradually revealing some parts of the truth while concealing others.
Showing you the picture with the view cropped
Presenting a partial truth, manipulating the perspective by controlling what is seen.
It can only hurt you if you find out
Reiterating the potential pain if the truth is discovered.
So don't find out
Emphasizing the plea to remain unaware of the secrets.
Keep your eyes closed and I'll shut my mouth
Reiterating the importance of silence to avoid the frightening truth.
Cause skeletons are scary in the real life
Continuing the comparison between hidden secrets and scary realities.
No I don't deserve to make you cry
Restating the speaker's reluctance to cause the person pain.
So turn a blind eye
Asking again for the person to ignore the truth.
Sacrifice the truth to preserve your smile
Willingness to sacrifice truth for the sake of the person's happiness.
Yeah I can bear the burden for my own lies
Reiteration of accepting responsibility for their own lies.
