Brilliant Lies

I'm trying to sleep,
but this pain in my chest,
it's keeping me awake,
and every breath i take,
feels like it's my last
i want to be fine,i want to be sure
i want to be a lot of things,
and none of them include you.
i keep telling myself,
i'm not miserable
i keep telling myself,
i'm better off without you

i believed that you meant
everything you said,
goodbye,and thanks for the memories
for the pain and the lies
every time i had to cry
goodbye,and thanks for the memories

i don't understand,
cause it doesn't make sense
the way you broke it off,
took away my heart,
took away all of my friends
i want to go out
and get out of this house
bet to begin again
is gonna take more than
i think i'd ever have to give.
i keep telling myself,
i'm not miserable
i keep telling myself,
i'm better off without you

i believed that you meant
everything you said,
goodbye,and thanks for the memories
for the pain and the lies
every time i had to cry
goodbye,and thanks for the memories
i believed that i was
so cleverly deceived,
by good looks,some charm and
a brilliant lie.
all the time that was spent,
being used,i should have said,
goodbye and thanks for the memories.

i want to know why,
you're such an idiot,
i want to know how
you can even live with it.
i wanna know why,
i should even give a damn
about you missing me so terribly.

i'm starting to sleep,
a little easier now.
now that i'm over this
and i've made up my mind
to never fall in love again,
with someone like you
someone so confused
i just wish i would have
realized that a long
time before i had.

i believed that you meant
everything you said,
goodbye,and thanks for the memories
for the pain and the lies
every time i had to cry.
goodbye,and thanks for the memories.
i believed that i was
so cleverly deceived,
by good looks,some charm and
a brilliant lie.
all the time that was spent,
being used,i should have said,
goodbye and thanks for the memories.
i believed that you meant
everything you said,
goodbye,and thanks for the memories!
