These Pages - Mainstay

Go tell the world that there is nothing here to hide

It seems like everyone’s been covering their eyes

Words that You didn’t say were haunting these pages

Faces You didn’t make were all I was seeing

The way that they painted You wasn’t a picture

Of one in control — and I don’t think they know who you are

Build brackets around You so You can come out clean

We tried to give You limits that You didn’t need

Words that You didn’t say were haunting these pages

Faces You didn’t make were all I was seeing

The way that they painted You wasn’t a picture

Of one in control — and I don’t think they know who you are

You can order all this heartbreak

You don’t need my permission to move

I wish they would just stop trying to filter You out

We’ve got nothing to prove

Words that You didn’t say were haunting these pages

Faces You didn’t make were all I was seeing

The way that they painted You wasn’t a picture

Of one in control — and I don’t think they know who you are
