these lies

Snow Patrol

I m not gonna lie to you anymore
After these lies, then no more
I never really loved you at all
So just walk away and don t ever call
Your kiss, it never brought me to my knees
I didn t ache for you till my heart would cease
And time, it never slowed down over us
When you were here with me, it was never thus

Ooh, and my hand never dials up your number
And it s not like I want you to wonder
If I m lost and I m thinking of you
Cause yes, I am fine and I m finally cl?arer
To understand what it is to be n?arer
And that love is just pain in reverse
And all these lies are mine
And they re the only thing that s fine
And the only way I ll wear this for now
Cause when we meet again
You won t see it in me then
Cause I ve buried it in all that you re not

And so all I ve got are lies for you even now
They re all carved in me, in the dust somehow
So when I say I never felt the garden burst into life
When I looked at you, well, it must be true
Cause I ve told myself a million times
who you weren t
So I can finally forget who you were
Cause if who you are is everything and I missed it
How could I live now like some counterfeit?

Ooh, and my hand never dials up your number
And it s not like I want you to wonder
If I m lost and I m thinking of you
Cause, yes, I am fine and I m finally clearer
To understand what it is to be nearer
And that love is just pain in reverse
And all these lies are mine
And they re the only thing that s fine
And the only way I ll wear this for now
And when we met again
You won t see it in me then
Cause I ve buried it in all that you re not

I m not gonna lie to you anymore
After these lies, then no more
