Learn to Love the Lie - Four Year Strong

I wish it was just another day

Another ordinary, not extraordinary

Just a boring Sunday morning

When doing nothing’s the only something we’ve got planned

But not today

We’re falling apart and it’s showing that we’re

Basically just trapped in captivity

Wishing our way out

Just let me cross my fingers behind my back

And I’ll swear on anything you want me to after that

I’ve heard that if I cross my heart then I’d have to die

If you don’t want to say goodbye

Then I guess you’ll have to learn to love the lie

You and me, we’re really nothing but enemies

Pretending we’re not meant to be

I don’t want to be the one to stay

I don’t want to be the one that got away

And if I’m being honest

You couldn’t get rid of me anyway

I don’t want to be the one to stay

What the hell, for heaven’s sake

I don’t want to be the one that got away

If Massachusetts had a loyalty

I hope it wouldn’t choose you over me

And if you’re wondering what keeps me up at night

It’s thinking that you might be right

Just let me cross my fingers behind my back

And I’ll swear on anything you want me to after that

I’ve heard that if I cross my heart then I’d have to die

If you don’t want to say goodbye

Then I guess you’ll have to learn to love the lie

You and me, we’re really nothing but enemies

Pretending that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be

I don’t want to be the one to stay

I don’t want to be the one that got away

And if I’m being honest

You couldn’t get rid of me anyway

I don’t want to be the one to stay

What the hell, for heaven’s sake

I don’t want to be the one that got away

You can say what you want about me

The old me would not apologize

You can do what you want without me

If only I could keep us from colliding

Overanalyzing

Every move we make we think we’re just surviving

But slowly we were dying

Until the rattle somehow brings us back to life

So let’s learn to love the lie

I don’t want to be the one to stay

I don’t want to be the one that got away

And if I’m being honest

You couldn’t get rid of me anyway

I don’t want to be the one to stay

What the hell, for heaven’s sake

I don’t want to be the one that got away

(Just let me cross my fingers behind my back)

I don’t want to be the one that got away

(And I’ll swear on anything you want me to after that)

I don’t want to be the one that got away

(If I cross my heart then I’d have to die)

But I don’t wanna say goodbye

But we have to laugh to learn to love the lie
