[Verse 1]
Overthinking conversations that I'm having in my head
Wondering if I should just lay here and put it all to bed
My imagination, it runs away with my common sense
Every word unspoken is still something that I shoulda said
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it grace or is it silence?
Speaking up just feels like violence, oh
And there's never perfect timing
So I smile instead of dying
[Chorus]
It's not the place I wanna be
These aren't the thoughts I wanna think
If these are the cards I gotta play
I'll pray and wait for better days
Hold my head up, try not to sink
Do what I know works best for me
If these are the cards I gotta play
I'll pray and wait for better days
Better days
[Verse 2]
Counting all the questions that I never really got to ask
Hiding all the damage underneath a fragile painted mask
Every time I reach for you, I feel you slip away like past
I don't know what hurts more, what you say or what you did to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it grace or is it silence?
Speaking up just feels like violence
And there's never perfect timing
So I smile to hide the dying
[Chorus]
It's not the place I wanna be
These aren't the thoughts I wanna think
If these are the cards I gotta play
I'll pray and wait for better days
Hold my head up, try not to sink
Do what I know works best for me
If these are the cards I gotta play
I'll pray and wait for better days
[Outro]
I'll wait, I'll wait for better days
I'll wait, I'll wait for better days
