The Lie

Verse And you Your love’s defining A generation To settle the score I once knew trust But now I’m surrounded By time I’ve wasted And hearts that I stole I owe to you a second chance An explanation A promise I’ll keep For every lie that I told to you You said you would come back for me Said you’d find a safe place You said that heaven and stars Would never tear us apart You find the right words Even from the wrong ways You lied Verse My lungs were failing Hands to the sky Face to the ground I found that you have no intentions You honor nothing And how could this be true They think so highly of you Pre-Chorus Why won’t you just shut up (030010) I make you fade away (32003x) There’s a consequence to every word you say Don’t you know who I am I said I would come back for you Said I’d find a safe place Who knew that heaven and stars Had their own prison bars I find the right words Even from the wrong ways I lied I never wanted so long To turn and to go away There was a time when your face I held much higher than grace You are the catalyst The words I would never say Goodbye Bridge And now I only talk to the dead Goodbye And now I only talk to the dead Goodbye (stop) Now I only talk to the dead You said you would come back for me Said you’d find a safe place You said that heaven and stars Would never tear us apart You find the right words Even from the wrong ways You lied I never wanted so long To turn and to go away There was a time when your face I held much higher than grace You are the catalyst The words I would never say Goodbye Outro Don’t tell me what to hold onto now Don’t tell me what to hold onto now What to hold onto now (I’m gonna see it all, gonna see it all, your way, your way) Don’t tell me what to hold onto now Don’t tell me what to hold onto now What to hold onto now (I’m gonna see it all, gonna see it all, your way, your way)
