I’ve lived in a lie
Perpetuated by dreams of what could be
Oh I really tried oh I really tried
To rewrite my misshapened reality
I casted it out logic for fear
Left myself broken reduced to a tear I shed in vain
Cause the waters drown me
In my lack of remembering how this always seems to play out
This invention born of my own self doubt
Balance is what I lack
I tried to assign a feeling that I can’t keep track of anymore
Oooo, oh I oh I, I thought I could place, oh I would
Trace the lines on your smile, once more
I, I, I I, I don’t think about you (oh what a lie)
I, I don’t think about you
Oh how I tried, not to think about you, anymore I cry, when I think about you
Oh I, think about you, often
It's really like you never left my brain
Was I ever sane to let myself
Think about you
Lord, please guide me on a path
That strengthens and remaps my heart and inclination to search for your face
In my soul, oh it screams, cause nothing quite as it seems I want to be ok
But here I am, thinking about you
