love became a wasteland
Pastor's wife, high and dry
He found someone else he liked
Dad walked out, my mom cried
Almost ended her own life
Why do we lie every time
About our promises
It's so hard to deny, it's a crime
That everyone commits
I had this picture in my head
Of everything love should've been
How everybody says that it's so perfect
Now it seems like just a game
When "I love you" is an empty phrase
'Cause no one ever seems to break the surface
Love became a wasteland
Thought that we were good friends
'Til I tried to open up to them
Someone comes with nothing left
Someone yells: you should go back again
I had this picture in my head
Of everything love should've been
How everybody says that it's so perfect
Now it seems like just a game
When "I love you" is an empty phrase
'Cause no one ever seems to break the surface
If that's the way the world turns
Watching while the world burns
I'd rather be a flower in the desert
'Cause even when it breaks you
I know it's real and that it's true
Sometimes you gotta lose it all to get it
He found someone else he liked
Dad walked out, my mom cried
Almost ended her own life
Why do we lie every time
About our promises
It's so hard to deny, it's a crime
That everyone commits
I had this picture in my head
Of everything love should've been
How everybody says that it's so perfect
Now it seems like just a game
When "I love you" is an empty phrase
'Cause no one ever seems to break the surface
Love became a wasteland
Thought that we were good friends
'Til I tried to open up to them
Someone comes with nothing left
Someone yells: you should go back again
I had this picture in my head
Of everything love should've been
How everybody says that it's so perfect
Now it seems like just a game
When "I love you" is an empty phrase
'Cause no one ever seems to break the surface
If that's the way the world turns
Watching while the world burns
I'd rather be a flower in the desert
'Cause even when it breaks you
I know it's real and that it's true
Sometimes you gotta lose it all to get it
