Outliers - These Are My Lies Lyrics

When I was young I fell in love
With all the things that helped me feel numb
It'd speak to me just like a lover would
They'd say we'll hold you real tight
Help you sleep at night
Don't worry and lay your head down for while
I fell in love with the way you'd help me forget
All the pain that I keep stored in my chest
I hope you never notice
Just how dangerous my mind is
Because If I'm not careful
When my gets head is too full
And I take too much
Not wake up

And now
I promise
I'm trying
I'm fading fast
I'm convinced I'm selfish
Because I can get out of my head
I promise
I'm trying
I'm fading fast
I'm convinced I'm selfish
Because I can get out of my head

When I was young I listened to every word
I held them so close too close that they burned
Here's what I say
You are hated and that's understated
I hope you feel it
Grab that whole bottle
Take it in a swallow
No one will mind
If you say goodbye
Tonight

And now
I promise
I'm trying
I'm fading fast
I'm convinced I'm selfish
Because I can't get out of my head
I promise
I'm trying
I'm fading fast
I'm convinced I'm selfish
Because I can get out of my head

These are my lies
These are my lies
That I tell myself

And I promise
I'm trying
I'm fading fast asleep
