Listening to the Liars

This is how they lure you in
this false sense of security
They hook you with their sentiment 'til
the fantasy is over
They told me it'll be alright
they tuned me up and turned me on
Was beaten but I couldn't stop
the ringing in my heart

I've been listening to the liars
but I guess that's how I got by
I'd been wishing the love songs could be mine

Those liars with their pretty lines
the kind of love you can't live down
They soundtracked my attractions
from first kiss through make out
I fell in while I sang along
the melody filling my lungs
It drowned me in a sea of love
from downbeat to fadeout

I've been listening to the liars
but I guess that's how I got by
I'd been wishing the love songs could be mine
I've been listening to the liars
singing how their pain was like mine
I felt fortunate I identified

I'd thought it couldn't be like they said that it could be
Magic moments just can't be defined
But it's exactly like they said that it would be
Eyes light up and all the stars align

It's getting nearly to the end
this is where we say goodbye
We gave all of our love to you
hook, line and Sucker

You've been listening to the liars
but I guess that's how you'll get by
We've been giving you all that we've acquired
We've been listening to the liars
and I guess that's how we got by
So liars keep singing the lies
keep singing the lies
