Can't be a martyr if the sinner always knows
I wear the truth like it's an armor you would never show
You call it love, but I call it a chain
I won't break the links because I was born to play the game
So now you know (you know)
Just how the story goes (story goes)
I'll settle for the pieces left
I'll never make you whole, whoa
I should've known it was a fight I wasn't ready for
You played the martyr in a holy war
Sincerity
Why'd you have to say that?
Thought I saw the truth in your eyes
Sincerity
Sealed it with a blood pact
Lost in the blink of a lie
Let's go
Sincerity making you sick, don't got the stomach for it
Probably best to forget, anyway
I tell 'em through terrible fits this is a place to begin
You got the rhythm within, drop that, ay
Didn't fall off the truck yesterday
New rules try and get the best of me
I'm cool, got the tools, wanna change the game
Y'all talking too much, let me clear the way
I knew it was a fight from the first steps
So I swing right, left 'til the sun sets
And if I die, then I do, it's a miracle
Right to push it, now let's begin
I should've known it was a fight I wasn't ready for (for)
You played the martyr in a holy war (a holy war)
Sincerity
Why'd you have to say that?
Thought I saw the truth in your eyes (the truth in your eyes)
Sincerity
Sealed it with a blood pact
Lost in the blink of a lie
I wish I would've known the truth
It's the war you started
You would always carry my noose
Man, you're so cold-hearted
You think the joke's on me, but what you don't see is
I defended your name, and I held your hand
And I defended every fucking thing about you
You burned the bridge, and now I know I'm better off without you
My intuition has been in submission, remission
And I found sincerity while you found some ammunition
No precision, but covered by suspicion, you held the key to my ignition
And you wanted a war
You wore a mask that I tried to ignore
I knew the truth, I knew it right from the start
I can't believe the person that you are
Why'd you have to say that?
Thought I saw the truth in your eyes
Sincerity
Sealed it with a blood pact
Lost in the blink of a lie (lost in the blink of a lie)
When you promised me the world
When you took away my fear
I was cryin' on your shoulder
Was any of it real?
