Walking on eggshells

Through the memories in my head

Razors cutting into the "souls" of my feet

As empty, as empty as my bed

Shredding every memory of you

The promises you made

Promises you broke

Lies of the love you gave

I thought that I'd had it right

I destroyed the very core of me

Convinced that was what you wanted

Yeah, I thought it would make you pleased

 

I knew I was sinking

Drowning in a lost cause

I only just decieved myself

I lost everything that I was

Nothing I ever did was good enough for you

Nothing ever made you satisfied

 

Lies of the love you gave

I thought that I'd had it right

I destroyed the very core of me

Convinced that was what you wanted

Yeah, I thought it would make you pleased

 

I bent over backwards and upside down

Hey, at least I can't say I never tried

You made me into this disaster

Angry, bitter, and twisted inside

Hating everything I've turned into

Building concrete walls, trying hard not to cry

 

Lies of the love you gave

I thought that I'd had it right

I destroyed the very core of me

Convinced that was what you wanted

Yeah, I thought it would make you pleased

 

Don't worry, it's not you I mourn for

'Cuz I really could give a fuck less about you

It's the confusion, desolation, and hurt whirling 'round

I'll be alright, I have to ya know

I've got more at stake than just me

I'll never get over the deception and lies

Maybe the best thing you ever did was leave

 

Lies of the love you gave

I thought that I'd had it right

I destroyed the very core of me

Convinced that was what you wanted

Yeah, I thought that would make you pleased

Yeah, I thought that would make you pleased
