Some people forget what its like
To have love
And be loved,
And be so deep in love.

Oh what a wonderful job they do
While lying through
Their teeth.
But I should speak for myself
and let it all out
and scream...

IM PERFECTLY GOOD AT LYING TO MYSELF

But darling,
You helped.
You made me believe in what could never be
and all of those warm and fuzzy feelings
That only existed in my
lucid dreams

So thank you so much
For holding on for so long,
and prolonging my heartache with another
poisoned love song

And watch me fall apart
Like I knew would happen from the
very start

Now, I know Im no where near
Perfect
and obviously Im not worth it..
But damnit..
I try.

And Im still trying while
Smiling
and lying
through my teeth
when I say....

"It doesnt bother me to simply see that you're with her now
and not with me..But thats okay. Im okay!"

Because I am
PERFECTLY GOOD AT LYING TO MYSELF
