Hopeful Lies

Love me, leave me
Don’t believe me
Well I don’t believe in you
Key word in
‘Cause this is unreal
Being with you

Beat me, break me
Say you hate me
It’s better than this numbing silence
Key word silence
‘Cause your laughter stops when I walk by
Not knowing what to think

Tell my secret, keep me chained
Cut me with words, nothing gained
You’re lying, trying to be nice
Key word trying
‘Cause you’re killing me
Slowly but surely

Hold me, hug me
Say you love me
Feed me lies like arsenic
Key word like
‘Cause you’re not totally toxic
Maybe even rejuvenating

Tell the world, blow my cover
Leave me here to find another
Since I’ll love and despise you
Key word despise
‘Cause I don’t want to hear another word
Of your hopeful lies.
