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 lies
Every time I had to cry
Goodbye and thanks for the memories
I don’t understand
Because it doesn’t make sense
The way you broke it off
Took away my heart
Took away all my friends
I want to go out
And get out of this house
But 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 lies
Every time I had to cry
Goodbye and thanks for the memories
I believe 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 want to 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 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 lies
Every time I had to cry
Goodbye and thanks for the memories
