Burnouts Are For Kids
Finally I can put some words to a little ditty I've been calling "New Song #2" and name it...
Listen to the Lies
He comes to me and says
"Baby I’m a mess
I’ve got something on my chest
Something to confess
You know I’m not the best
You’re settling for less"
Then he walked off to the West
And left this emptiness
I didn't hear just what they said
Didn't pay attention but I wish I did
Listening to the lies inside my head
I was drawn to you
Love’s never what it seems
The happiness that gleams
Is only in your dreams
While you’re ripping at the seams
He left me in a daze
A vicious kind of haze
That creeps inside and stays
Love-- it never pays
I didn’t hear just what they said
Didn’t pay attention but I wish I did
Listening to the lies inside my head
I was drawn to you
My soul desires
To spread the fires
Til they consume my mind
I love the liars
How they bring me higher
So I can fall back down again
Listen to the Lies
He comes to me and says
"Baby I’m a mess
I’ve got something on my chest
Something to confess
You know I’m not the best
You’re settling for less"
Then he walked off to the West
And left this emptiness
I didn't hear just what they said
Didn't pay attention but I wish I did
Listening to the lies inside my head
I was drawn to you
Love’s never what it seems
The happiness that gleams
Is only in your dreams
While you’re ripping at the seams
He left me in a daze
A vicious kind of haze
That creeps inside and stays
Love-- it never pays
I didn’t hear just what they said
Didn’t pay attention but I wish I did
Listening to the lies inside my head
I was drawn to you
My soul desires
To spread the fires
Til they consume my mind
I love the liars
How they bring me higher
So I can fall back down again
