Love and Other Lies

When I was younger

My father and mother

Would come in and kiss me goodnight

Dreaming in colors

Sun burns in summer

And someday swore I’d learn to fly

I was stupid

Grew up too quick

Now these colors are confusing

And my parents packed their things and said goodbye

Love and other lies

I tell myself to sleep at night

Love and other lies

They sing to me like lullabies

Don’t know the music but I’m playing along

We’re only human we’re all singing the same song

La la la la la love and other lies

I met him at 16

Foolish and naive

I fell fast and gave everything

It was stupid

Grew up too quick

Now we’re strangers, how confusing

And my parents said it wasn’t meant to be

Love and other lies

I tell myself to sleep at night

Love and other lies

They sing to me like lullabies

Don’t know the music but I’m playing along

We’re only human we’re all singing the same song

La la la la love and other lies

La la la la love

La la la la love

La la la la love

La la la la love

Love and other lies

I tell myself to sleep at night

Love and other lies

They sing to me like lullabies

Don’t know the music but I’m playing along

We’re only human we’re all singing the same song

La la la la love and other lies
