Lying to Yourself

Once again honesty has broken everything

But it’s a cruel, cruel thing to keep

Someone assuming

But you are uncomfortable with the truth

And it makes no goddamn sense to me

Oh, you just keep

Lying to yourself

Lying to me

Pretending you’re okay

Pretending that you’re happy

Lying to yourself

Lying to me

Pretending you’re okay

Pretending that you’re happy

(Making me look like the fool for telling you the truth)

You let me get close

Lured me with somedays and I believes

But never close enough to let me be

Completely me and it

Makes not goddamn sense to me

Oh, then why so much melancholy, baby

Oh, you keep

Lying to yourself

Lying to me

Pretending you’re okay

Pretending that you’re happy

Lying to yourself

Lying to me

Pretending you’re okay

Pretending that you’re happy
