Ghosts - We Lie to Ourselves Lyrics

The bird flew in
Why did you say
That something good was on its way?
Maybe a stroke of luck
Remember the last one cut
Maybe it stopped us both from cutting our losses

We try but we lie to each other
We lie to ourselves when we lie to each other
We lie to ourselves
We lie to each other
We lie to ourselves when we lie to each other

Sometimes it's easier to say
The truth when you look miles away
Sometimes it's harder to
Say what you wanted to
When someone's on top of you
You keep missing your chances

We try but we lie to each other
We lie to ourselves when we lie to each other
We lie to ourselves
We lie to each other
We lie to ourselves when we lie to each other

And the America or London in your head only showed itself briefly
In your twenty third or twenty fourth year
We know we'll never find it again
We wouldn't know where to look even if it was right here

We lie to ourselves
We lie to each other
We lie to ourselves when we lie to each other
We lie to ourselves
We lie to each other
We lie to ourselves when we lie to each other

I lie to myself
We lie to each other
You lie to yourself
We lie to each other
We lie to ourselves when we lie to each other
We lie to ourselves when we lie to each other
