Perfect Lies

I lost my mind the day I found you
I lost my song but heard it's value
I lost my life and saved my perfect lies

I held the truth and chose to drop it
I felt so bad but couldn't stop it
I left my home and build my perfect lies

"She still needs you
He mistreats you
She still greets you
Someone feeds you"

I sought love but chose to rent it
I bought time until I spent it
I fought rejection with my perfect lies

Rewind the moments we never had lived
Sweet alibis
Recall the passion we never could give
Sweet alibis

I still recall, I still await
Why don't I even hesitate?
I'm still nostalgic for those perfect lies

"He still meets you
She completes you
He can read you
Does he beat you?"

Rewind the moments we never had lived
Sweet alibis
Recall the passion we never could give
Sweet alibis [ x 3]

I've got the past ahead of me
I'll live to see my history
I am the man I'd never be
