Lyrics
What You Don’t Face
The past only chases what you refuse to see.
V1
I keep my hands busy, keep my head down
Skip the hard rooms, don’t stick around
I tell myself time is a one-way street
If I don’t look back, I won’t repeat
Pre1
If I don’t name it, does it stay asleep
Or does the truth come looking for me
Chorus
Look closer and the past breaks free
Every buried truth comes back to me
I thought I ran till I broke the chain
But what I lived through lives again
What you don’t face is built to last
And time will call me back too fast
V2
I packed the story in a smaller box
Labeled it done, put on the locks
Said I grew up, said I moved on
But quiet nights prove me wrong
V3
Every habit learned in self-defense
Still shows up when I’m on the fence
I play it cool, I play it smart
But fear still knows my start
V4
I learned to joke when things got tense
Laugh my way past the consequence
Smile wide, keep peace intact
While the damage learned to act
Pre2
If I stay busy, will it lose the trail
Or does the past just learn to wait
Chorus
Look closer and the past breaks free
Every buried truth comes back to me
I thought I ran till I broke the chain
But what I lived through lives again
What you don’t face is built to last
And time will call me back too fast
V5
I see it now in the choices I make
The risks I dodge, the deals I take
I call it caution, call it wise
But it’s just history in disguise
V6
I flinch at love that feels too close
Guard the parts that matter most
Say I’m fine, say I’m strong
But that armor’s been on too long
V7
Some lessons teach without a sound
They pull the strings from underground
You don’t feel them till the strain
Shows up wearing a different name
Pre3
If I keep running, do I stay ahead
Or just arrive where I’ve already been
Chorus
Look closer and the past breaks free
Every buried truth comes back to me
I thought I ran till I broke the chain
But what I lived through lives again
What you don’t face is built to last
And time will call me back too fast
V8
I blamed the world, I blamed the timing
Called it fate, called it bad aligning
But patterns don’t just happen twice
They ask to be recognized
V9
The body keeps a better score
Than all the stories I ignore
Every ache that won’t explain
Is a memory asking my name
V10
I see the cost of looking away
Paid in interest every day
What I avoided to survive
Is the very thing that stayed alive
Pre4
If I turn and finally stand still
Does the chase lose all its will
Chorus
Look closer and the past breaks free
Every buried truth comes back to me
I thought I ran till I broke the chain
But what I lived through lives again
What you don’t face is built to last
And time will call me back too fast
V11
I start real small. I tell the truth
About the hurt I called my youth
No drama now, no grand display
Just naming what I turned away
V12
Some doors don’t close till you go back
And see them clearly for what they lack
Not to live there. Not to stay
Just to stop carrying them away
Pre5
If I meet it with my eyes wide open
Does it loosen what it’s holding
Chorus
Look closer and the past breaks free
Every buried truth comes back to me
I thought I ran till I broke the chain
But what I lived through lives again
What you don’t face is built to last
And time will call me back too fast
V13
Now when it knocks, I don’t pretend
I let it speak. I let it end
Not erased. Just understood
The past stays still once I’ve stood
Bridge
The past don’t chase. It waits its turn
It shows up where I still won’t learn
It loses power when I see
It only runs when I won’t be
Chorus
Look closer and the past breaks free
Every buried truth comes back to me
I thought I ran till I broke the chain
But what I lived through lives again
What you don’t face is built to last
And time will call me back too fast
And time will call me back too fast
