Eleri Ward - The Lie Lyrics

Though I know the truth I think I'll make up stories
And I'll tell them to myself
"You barely make the grade, and he may say he
Loves you but he'll leave you soon enough"

Why do I love the lie?
While it's killin' me inside

Telling lies to myself just to feel like I'm alive
Isn't good but it feels like it should cuz it gets me high, but
I feel like I'm fallin', I feel I'm fallin'
I feel like I'm fallin', I feel I'm fallin' apart

Trying to stay humble so I beat my heart up, now
Addicted to the guilt
So it starts to speak the myth that I'm no good, it
Satisfies me, I admit

So why do I love the lie?
Cuz it's killin' me inside

Telling lies to myself just to feel like I'm alive
Isn't good but it feels like it should cuz it gets me high, but
I feel like I'm fallin', I feel I'm fallin'
I feel like I'm fallin', I feel I'm fallin' apart
I'm protecting myself from the truth if the truth is hard
I don't want the surprise of a knife going
Through the heart, and
I feel like I'm fallin', I feel I'm fallin'
I feel like I'm fallin', I feel I'm fallin' apart

Fear of the vulnerable
I've gotten too comfortable
Here within the dark side of my mind
Habits can only die hard
This one just might leave a scar
But I gotta break me of the lie

Being good to myself even though it can feel like hell
Telling truths so I heal all the bruises I gave myself
So what if I'm fallin', I know I'm fallin'
It's fine if I'm fallin', I'm fine with fallin' apart

Oooh, oooh, aah
Oooh, oooh, aah
Oooh, oooh, aah
Oooh, oooh, aah
