Brilliant Lies - New Years Day

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
