Brilliant Lies

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Bridge] 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 [Chorus]
