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
