[Intro] I was your lover I was your lie [Verse 1 — Soft Female Vocals] I took your picture off the shelf Then put it back there by myself I guess I wasn't ready yet To see a room without you in it Your number's still the same as mine I know the last four digits by heart It's strange how little things survive When everything else falls apart [Chorus — Sweet, Clear Female Vocals] I was your lover I was your lie I held you close Then watched you cry I was your lover I let you down You gave me love I let it drown And I can't change what I put you through I loved you then I hurt you too [Verse 2 — Heavy Guitars Building] I used to think that if I hurt enough I'd pay you back for what I'd done Like staying miserable for years Could make up for the wasted ones But you don't get those Fridays back Or all the nights you spent awake And I don't get to call it love If love's the only thing I say [Chorus — Full Distorted Guitars] I was your lover I was your lie I held you close Then watched you cry I was your lover I let you down You gave me love I let it drown And I can't change what I put you through I loved you then I hurt you too [Bridge — Soft Clean Vocals] Maybe one day I'll hear our song And let it play until it's done Without pretending we were fine Without pretending you were mine I won't ask you to understand Or take the weight out of my hands You had your reasons to let go And I have things I need to know [Bridge — Female Screams] I DON'T NEED YOU TO FORGIVE ME JUST TO MAKE THIS EASIER TO BEAR I DON'T NEED TO MAKE YOU MISS ME JUST TO PROVE THAT YOU WERE THERE I CAN LOVE YOU, I CAN LOSE YOU I CAN OWN THE THINGS I DO YOU DON'T OWE ME ONE MORE MOMENT I OWE MYSELF THE TRUTH [Final Chorus — Huge Guitars, Sweet Vocals + Screamed Backing Vocals] I was your lover I was your lie I held you close Then watched you cry I was your lover I let you down You gave me love I let it drown And I can't change what I put you through I loved you then I hurt you too I loved you then I hurt you too [Outro — Barely Audible Female Vocals] I leave your picture on the shelf Not for you. Not for myself. Some scars stay But they don't hurt the same I loved you. I hurt you too.
