A Lyrical Lie
Posted: Fri Mar 11, 2011 10:34 pm
I’m sick of it all
Every night I lie awake
Waiting for your call
But the phone never rings
You don’t know
Just how much it stings
It’s like I’m going through the motions
But I’m missing conviction
And I’m drowning in an ocean,
It’s getting harder to breathe
I’m standing on the corner
Looking like a loner
Every single day
Hoping you’d come this way
And it’s killing me
You’re everything I hoped for
You shook me to my core
Played a different game
Changed the rules
And my life was never the same
I’m just sitting counting the minutes pass by
But it is all a lyrical lie
Been there, done that,
I tired looking to the sky
Believing in myself
Bullshit, I quit
I’m sick of it all
Every night I lie awake
Waiting for your call
But the phone never rings
You don’t know
Just how much it stings
Just so sick of it
Just so sick of it
It’s killing me
You not knowing
When all this emotion just keeps growing
And I don’t want it to go to waste
Press your lips against mine and give me a taste
Of that Mona Lisa smile that can’t be replaced
Every night I lie awake
Waiting for your call
But the phone never rings
You don’t know
Just how much it stings
It’s like I’m going through the motions
But I’m missing conviction
And I’m drowning in an ocean,
It’s getting harder to breathe
I’m standing on the corner
Looking like a loner
Every single day
Hoping you’d come this way
And it’s killing me
You’re everything I hoped for
You shook me to my core
Played a different game
Changed the rules
And my life was never the same
I’m just sitting counting the minutes pass by
But it is all a lyrical lie
Been there, done that,
I tired looking to the sky
Believing in myself
Bullshit, I quit
I’m sick of it all
Every night I lie awake
Waiting for your call
But the phone never rings
You don’t know
Just how much it stings
Just so sick of it
Just so sick of it
It’s killing me
You not knowing
When all this emotion just keeps growing
And I don’t want it to go to waste
Press your lips against mine and give me a taste
Of that Mona Lisa smile that can’t be replaced
