Alice Anarchy - The Middle Lyrics

Another fight, another sleepless night,
We're both too proud to say who's right.
Words like knives, they cut so deep,
But silence hurts worse when we don't speak.

Every time we try to make amends,
We're unraveling what's left unsaid.
Same damn story, the same refrain,
We're caught in a loop, reliving the pain.

Here we are in the middle again,
Living lies to lift our grins.
Smiling wide as the cracks descend,
Breaking apart where we should mend.

You slam the door, I light a cigarette,
Counting regrets that we can't forget.
Your shadow's haunting the hallway light,
A ghost of love that we buried tonight.

We wear these chains, we forged them strong,
Bound by the fear of moving on.
Is it love, or just a war we wage?
Trapped in a cage, afraid of the stage.

Here we are in the middle again,
Living lies to lift our grins.
Smiling wide as the cracks descend,
Breaking apart where we should mend.
