Lyrics New Years Day

New Years Day

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,

Goodbye 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,

Goodbye 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 believed that you meant everything you said,

Goodbye 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 believed that you meant everything you said,

Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
