The Lies I Told Myself

If I had a dollar for every counterfeit offer

Maybe I’d buy my own damn ring

If I had an ocean for every promise been broken

I’d be drownin’ and that’s a sea that I won’t swim

I was told fireworks at first sight

Could turn somethin’ wrong into right

And those sparks that fly would always be enough

I was sold on dreams and fairytales

I was told forever could never fail

And I do should always mean it always does

These are the lies, the lies I told myself ‘bout love

If I could take something from every turned into nothing

Maybe I’d be wiser than I’ve been

If I could make choices, give words to the voices

They might tell me something I believe

I was told fireworks at first sight

Could turn somethin’ wrong into right

And those sparks that fly would always be enough

I was sold on dreams and fairytales

I was told forever could never fail

And I do should always mean it always does

These are the lies, the lies I told myself ‘bout love

I was told fireworks at first sight

Could turn somethin’ wrong into right

And those sparks that fly would always be enough

I was sold on dreams and fairytales

I was told forever could never fail

And I do should always mean it always does

These are the lies, the lies I told myself ‘bout love
