Myth

Brand new eyes, seeing love's demise at the kitchen table Pretty white lies, you were so unkind, and yet so sincere Too young to know how love should be shown, I was never ungrateful But it ain't pretty, what's happening round here The movies all lie, watching husbands and wives not being unstable So why am I stuck with the people I love being filled with fear Oh, I was too young thinking being in love had to be this painful No, it ain't normal, what's happening round here So I'll try to rip the pages out of the story I was told In the middle ground, I'm breaking down, they say it's not my fault But I'll try to make it right, even if I can't take sides So what will win? The love that's all within Or thinking it's just a myth, ah nah, ah nah Maybe love don't exist, ah nah, ah nah Brand new eyes, I don't act surprised when they say it's over Knots untied, wanna run and hide, sleep another year "Why are you upset? Go on back to bed, you'll understand when you're older" Like I don't notice what's happening round here I don't want pity, I just want someone to hear So I'll try to rip the pages out of the story I was told In the middle ground, I'm breaking down, they say it's not my fault But I'll try to make it right, even if I take a side So what will win? The love of next of kin Or is it all just a myth, ah nah, ah nah How could love ever exist In the middle of the perfect storm, that's closing in on me Throw their sticks and stones, I sit alone, the perfect family As I get older, hope the little me is proud Of finding what love is all about So I'll try to rip the pages of what story I was told In the middle ground, I'm breaking down, I know it's not my fault I don't have to make it right, I don't have to choose a side What always wins is the love we have within It isn't all just a myth, ah nah, ah nah Maybe love does exist, ah nah, ah nah It isn't all just a myth
