Brilliant Lies

I'm trying to sleep,
 But this pain in my chest,
 It's keeping me awake,
 And every breath I take,
 Feels like it's my last,
 I want to be fine,
 I want to be sure,
 I want to be a lot of things,
 And none of them include you.
 I keep telling myself I'm not miserable,
 I keep telling myself I'm better off without you,
 I believed that you meant everything you said,
 Good bye and thanks for the memories,
 For the pain and lies
 Every time I had to cry,
 Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
 I don't understand,
 Because it doesn't make sense,
 The way you broke it off,
 Took away my heart,
 Took away all my friends,
 I want to go out,
 And get out of this house,
 But to begin again is gonna take more than I think I'd ever have to give.
 I keep telling myself I'm not miserable,
 I keep telling myself I'm better off without you,
 I believed that you meant everything you said,
 Good bye and thanks for the memories,
 For the pain and lies
 Every time I had to cry,
 Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
 I believe that I was so cleverly deceived,
 By good looks, some charm, and a brilliant lie,
 All the time that was spent being used I should have said,
 Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
 I want to know why you're such an idiot,
 I want to know how you can even live with it,
 I want to know why I should even give a damn,
 About you missing me so terribly,
 I'm starting to sleep a little easier now,
 Now that I'm over this,
 And I've made up my mind to never fall in love again,
 With someone like you, someone so confused,
 I just wish I would have realized that a long time before I had
 I keep telling myself I'm not miserable,
 I keep telling myself I'm better off without you,
 I believed that you meant everything you said,
 Good bye and thanks for the memories,
 For the pain and lies
 Every time I had to cry,
 Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
