A Terrible Lie

A TERRIBLE LIE Well I tried to persuade you to stay, your mind was made up anyway You gave your reasons with the change of the seasons, and I won’t convince you today So you tore up my lyrics, my sounds, they’re scraps of notation and nouns Since we’ve been estranged your bedroom’s rearranged, our photos are taken down Oh my heart skipped a beat when I heard, your words were completely absurd You said goodbye, it’s a terrible lie, because there’s nothing good in that word Oh my heart skipped a beat when I heard, your words were completely absurd You said goodbye, it’s a terrible lie, because there’s nothing good in that word And I still regret to this day, all the words that I just couldn’t say Don’t dwell on the past our dice can’t be recast, but still I wish that there was some way Now every time I close my eyes, I’m haunted by memories of all your goodbyes And the hope that we’d make up as soon as I wake up is dashed, no I won’t claim that prize Oh my heart skipped a beat when I heard, your words were completely absurd You said goodbye, it’s a terrible lie, because there’s nothing good in that word Oh my heart skipped a beat when I heard, your words were completely absurd You said goodbye, it’s a terrible lie, there’s nothing good in that word
