comforting reassuring

it's the same words once again
spilling from your lips
and i'll drink them in
i want to believe
i want to believe you tell the truth

oh but i know
i know you're wrong
but as the story goes
you'd give the world to keep me here
as long as i never stray
and then i'm gone
before i can say a word

comforting reassuring
its the same lies
drink it in drink it down
this world will let me down
or maybe just you

i've cried the same tears before
you know it you know it
you've said the same words before
i know it i know it
but i hang on

give me back what i've lost
the memory of days forgotten
times that no longer are seen
times i no longer believe
you've stolen everything good in life

comforting reassuring
the same old sad story
spilling from your lips
drink it in drink it down
you're just gonna let me down
i know, i know, i know

Want v. Need

well you want what you want
and i want what i need
in the end though
does it matter who bleeds

but you take happiness
and twist it around
stomp on people's laughter
throw them to the ground

to watch you is to have
all the misery of knowing
nothing in life is worth
giving you all that you want

but you get it
and you'll get it
but you don't deserve it
you don't deserve anything

beyond the tears you cry
looking for sweet empathy
manipulating what you want
into what you need

maybe it's not money that
you'll be looking for
keep telling you lies
keep wasting your time

but you take happiness
and twist it around
stomp on people's smiles
and throw them to the ground

but it's all that you want
and you won't admit it
you pretend and pretend
but you'll never be complete
