Lyrics
When I was young, I could have grown up to be
Anything that I could imagine, it didn't happen though
Obviously you were adamant, you saw in me greatness
"Have patience," you said, "this is a tangential oddity
Not the true you, the one that won the natural lottery"
The time has come to acknowledge
My life is not what you promised
All she ever wanted was honesty
I used to catch myself lying subconsciously
She couldn't recognize the pain in my speech
But I recognized dishonesty's a danger to me
I was a stranger to me, stupid living my life
She saw all of the mistrust within my eyes
Hard to swallow 'cause it isn't bite-sized
I got caught up in a snowstorm of little white lies
You have done wonders for my self esteem
Thanks for lying to me, lying to me
You have done wonders for my self esteem
Thanks for lying to me, lying to me
It's not so clear between what you say
And what I like to hear, so you get weird
And tell me it's okay while staving off my fear
I appreciate it dearly, dearest, when you're near me
Sincerely, my selective hearing
Said all you've given to me was a fictional speech
And it ain't the type of wisdom I seek
Said all I've gotten from you was this confident view
Through the knowledge it was honestly you
It was honestly you, but you're probably used to having
Great self esteem, you had to lie to me
Thanks for lying to me, always lying to me
With great self esteem, you had to lie to me
Thanks for lying to me
Tried to reach for the stars, grab a handful
Tried to reach for your heart, got your backbone
Never trust a thief in the dark, was deceit from the start
Why'd I jump face first into the teeth of a shark?
You're a wolf amongst sheep
So here's a fraction of the time that you took from my sleep
You're still a crook in my dreams, it's beautiful
I'll work it out through music, it's what I have to do to grow
I could tell that it was fake when you sent away the greys
But it helped me anyways build a healthy bit of grey
But I felt that it was safe and got comfy
It was not something I saw coming
You stopped lovingly lying to me and so left silently
I liked you better as an actress where
You just read your fucking lines to me
You have done wonders for my self esteem
Thanks for lying to me, lying to me
You have done wonders for my self esteem
Thanks for lying to me, lying to me
Quand je passe devant chez toi
Je regarde dehors par la fenêtre
Je me demande si tu vois
Dans la brume la nuit
Tout autour de ma fenêtre
Said all you've given to me was a fictional speech
And it ain't the type of wisdom I seek
Said all I've gotten from you was a confident view
Through the knowledge it was honestly you
It was honestly you, but you're probably used to having
Great self esteem, you had to lie to me
Thanks for lying to me, always lying to me
Lying to me, lying to me
Over and over and over
