[Verse] I'm in a cold dark room with the TV on An actress smiles at me from a video Oh I've never met her but she feels like home Is that how it's meant to be? Is that how it's meant to be? [Pre-Chorus] Is it true That love's a tale That's told by fools? Well I wish you well 'Cause that's not me [Chorus] So don't tell me I should stay Don't tell me I should wait You tell me it's a phase But I don't feel that way So don't tell me I should stay Don't tell me I should wait You tell me it's a phase But I don't feel that way [Verse 2] So take it back Take it back Take it back The only thing worse than me is the way that I react A creature of comfort But it's just an act I need my anger I need it back I need my anger I need it back And don't take it back [Pre-Chorus] Oh Is it true That love's a tale That's told by fools? Well I wish you well 'Cause that's not me [Chorus] So don't tell me I should stay Don't tell me I should wait You tell me it's a phase But I don't feel that way So don't tell me I should stay Don't tell me I should wait You tell me it's a phase But I don't feel that way
