lyrics

What makes him give it all up for perhaps a smile?
What is it after six months that makes him finally give up and go back and hide?
Why is it such a short time?

Along the way, several times the paths have changed
Plans were made and given up, feeling rough around your edges and no one can see inside except the ones you just want to hide from.
Disguises are piling up
until you find yourself wondering where it is you came from.

Relationships like vacations a break from the unpleasant truth
anytime you pour yourself your own courage and set up your own kissing booth
Truth, there is always some warning sign you chose to ignore
not knowing is worse than knowing she doesn't love you forever-more
call her the whore
but you know, you'd give it all up, not for money, but for something that resembles love.

You're too young to completely give up
there are so many older, alone and with colder hearts
who've eventually found someone
but to them, could it have been just anyone?
No longer just looking for just anyone.
