The Crooked Numbers - Decade I Lyrics

We spoke in half-truths, a language from a past youth
Simple translation I would be nothing without you
I said it, can't forget it
Let's give credit where credit's due
I was stronger, I could see farther
I felt alive, I was brand new
"I can't believe the feelings you harbor,"
I replay, "if you only knew"

We spoke about a life exaggerated
Reminded by the scars that never faded
Can that part of me be overstated
If you were there I wouldn't have to say it

We spoke about a life that was cemented
But we were surely misguided
I spoke the word and I meant
You didn't want to leave like I did
I was careless and I lost focus
Either hopeful or hopeless
Never quite found my balance
A canyon left from its absence

We spoke about a life exaggerated
Reminded by the scars that never faded
Can that part of me be overstated
If you were there I wouldn't have to say it

We spoke about a life exaggerated
Reminded by the scars that never faded
Can that part of me be overstated
If you were there I wouldn't have to say it
