Cheap Parades Lyrics - The Ones We Never Knew - Holly Williams

A memory falls down from where it was 

With this confession I beg for more 

I never mean to, and it's been awhile 

Since I found meaning in these desires 

I know it's wrong to hurt you like this 

I know it's wrong to lie like a kid 

Fire and blankets, a cheap parade 

Of guilty pleasures, I take the stage 

But nothing feels good if it ain't true 

It's like trying to cry for someone you never knew 

I know it's wrong to hurt you like this 

I know it's wrong to lie like a kid 

I love you with more tears than any pain could ever bring me 

I fight it most everyday 

I hurt you with more truth than your own eyes could ever teach you 

I'm tired of living this way, when I know it's wrong 

I never told you, you just kinda knew 

By the way I'm not when I'm with you 

You never take me like you used to 

And nothing heals the scars of all the ones we never knew 

I love you with more tears than any pain could ever bring me 

I fight it most everyday 

I hurt you with more truth than your own eyes could ever teach you 

I'm tired of living this way, when I know it's wrong 

I know it's wrong to hurt you again 

I know it's wrong to lie like a kid
