[Verse 1] You know what you did
You gave up on me long ago
But failed to let me know
I'm not over it
The fault not spread evenly
Made askew, by the one that leaves

[Chorus] Confess
The harder I try, the more I broke it
But you let me know too late
Confess
There was a reason why my heart was open
You were afraid to close the gate
And you can't just stand there and wait
You have to meet me halfway

[Verse 2] I took all the blame
I carried it willingly
The guilt almost killing me
Takes two to play this game
I need you to own up to it
That you should have called it quits

[Chorus] Confess
The harder I try, the more I broke it
But you let me know too late
Confess
There's a reason why my heart was open
You were afraid to close the gate
But you can't just stand there and wait
You have to meet me halfway

[Bridge] And before you move on
Admit you were wrong
Your rejection was silent dear
I wish you would have made it clear

[Chorus] Confess
The harder I try, the more I broke it
But you let me know too late
Confess
There was a reason why my heart was open
You were afraid to close the gate
And you can't just stand there and wait
You have to meet me halfway
