Repeat to your

              
self that they

Time has prove

 yourself into

 believing
  
Aa lie is the 

most effective

 way to deal w

Things you hav

No, no, you we

t cared too ha

rd, not them


[Verse 3]

Stay up every 

single night s

taring at your

Either attempt

Turn these dem

Your lonelines

              
s into nothing

              
 more than a b

  
ad dream
              
Or praying jus

          
t for one seco

nd you could f

eel

Always bring y

Leave little c

Watch them smi

You must have 

done something

 real bad
              
It’s nearly im


possible for y

[Verse 6]

Avoid your fri

 even though
              
They’re the on

   
ly sense of co

have
              
Left in your l

eally wanted
              
To see you the

You don’t need
