Testo No Pretending

You've already ruined
What you should've held dear
But teaching imperfection's like drilling holes in the sea
If I took you aside
Would you listen to me
I'd give you all my wisdom in way of an apology

Was it all a lie? Why are you pretending
To sacrifice?
Why are your pretending
To sacrifice those real things
And win the fight?

I thought that I told you
That it wasn't working?
