Not so long ago I was like you
I didn’t care about the lies or the truth
The tick of the clock makes me look back
Why can’t I even smile like that?
Guess I’ll force myself to believe
Believe my own lies
‘Cos I desperately need to live
Before I ask why
We’ll have to kiss and act carefree
Why should we care if they scream?
And now that I’m playing by the rules
I feel like a damn loser and their fool
I love to make myself believe
Believe my own lies
‘Cos I so damn needed to live
Thank you sweet lies
It’s your courage what makes me run
Leave them behind me and not ask
What the hell have I done?
Not so long ago I was like you
I didn’t care about the lies or the truth
The tick of the clock makes me look back
Why can’t I even smile like that?
Guess I’ll force myself to believe
Believe my own lies
‘Cos I desperately need to live
Before I ask why
I love to make myself believe
Believe my own lies
‘Cos I so damn needed to live
Thank you sweet lies
