Myth

Brand new eyes, seeing love's demise at the kitchen table
Pretty white lies, you were so unkind, and yet so sincere
Too young to know how love should be shown, I was never ungrateful
But it ain't pretty, what's happening round here
The movies all lie, watching husbands and wives not being unstable
So why am I stuck with the people I love being filled with fear
Oh, I was too young thinking being in love had to be this painful
No, it ain't normal, what's happening round here

So I'll try to rip the pages out of the story I was told
In the middle ground, I'm breaking down, they say it's not my fault
But I'll try to make it right, even if I can't take sides
So what will win? The love that's all within
Or thinking it's just a myth, ah nah, ah nah
Maybe love don't exist, ah nah, ah nah

Brand new eyes, I don't act surprised when they say it's over
Knots untied, wanna run and hide, sleep another year
"Why are you upset? Go on back to bed, you'll understand when you're older"
Like I don't notice what's happening round here
I don't want pity, I just want someone to hear

So I'll try to rip the pages out of the story I was told
In the middle ground, I'm breaking down, they say it's not my fault
But I'll try to make it right, even if I take a side
So who will win? The love of next of kin
Or is it all just a myth, ah nah, ah nah
How could love ever exist

In the middle of the perfect storm, that's closing in on me
Throw their sticks and stones, I sit alone, the perfect family
As I get older, hope the little me is proud
Of finding what love is all about

So I'll try to rip the pages of what story I was told
In the middle ground, I'm breaking down, I know it's not my fault
I don't have to make it right, I don't have to choose a side
What always wins is the love we have within
It isn't all just a myth, ah nah, ah nah
Maybe love does exist, ah nah, ah nah
It isn't all just a myth
