Learn to Love the Lie (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]

I wish it was just another day

Another ordinary, not extraordinary

Just a boring Sunday morning

When doing nothing's the only something we've got planned

But not today

We're falling apart and it's showing that we're

Basically just trapped in captivity

Wishing our way out

[Refrain]

Just let me cross my fingers behind my back

And I'll swear on anything you want me to after that

I've heard that if I cross my heart then I'd have to die

If you don't wanna say goodbye

Then I guess you'll have to learn to love the lie

[Pre-Chorus]

You and me, we're really nothing but enemies

Prеtending we're not mеant to be

[Chorus]

I don't wanna be the one to stay

I don't wanna be the one that got away

And if I'm being honest

You couldn't get rid of me anyway

I don't wanna be the one to stay

What the hell, for heaven's sake

I don't wanna be the one that got away

[Verse 2]

If Massachusetts had a loyalty

I hope it wouldn't choose you over me

And if you're wondering what keeps me up at night

It's thinking that you might be right

[Refrain]

Just let me cross my fingers behind my back

And I'll swear on anything you want me to after that

I've heard that if I cross my heart then I'd have to die

If you don't wanna say goodbye

Then I guess you'll have to learn to love the lie

[Pre-Chorus]

You and me, we're really nothing but enemies

Pretending that's exactly how it's supposed to be

[Chorus]

I don't wanna be the one to stay

I don't wanna be the one that got away

And if I'm being honest

You couldn't get rid of me anyway

I don't wanna be the one to stay

What the hell, for heaven's sake

I don't wanna be the one that got away

[Bridge]

You can say what you want about me

The old me would not apologize

And you can do what you want without me

If only I could keep us from colliding, overanalyzing

Every move we make we think we're just surviving

But slowly we were dying

Until the rattle somehow brings us back to life

So let's learn to love the lie

[Chorus]

I don't wanna be the one to stay

I don't wanna be the one that got away

And if I'm being honest

You couldn't get rid of me anyway

I don't wanna be the one to stay

What the hell, for heaven's sake

I don't wanna be the one that got away

(Just let me cross my fingers behind my back)

I don't wanna be the one that got away

(And I'll swear on anything you want me to after that)

I don't wanna be the one that got away

(If I cross my heart then I'd have to die)

But you don't wanna say goodbye

But I guess you'll have to learn to love the lie
