Lyrics:

I broke the golden rule again
I lost a lover and a friend
Just when I thought I'd got to know you
But when I see it in rewind
And think of all we left behind
There was no other way to show you

'Cause I am no believer
And you don't need me either
And this is such a breather
Finally being real

'Cause it feels like
No one ever gets the things they want
No one ever wants the things they have
So why do we keep faking it so bad?

And when I think of what went wrong
You know I'm glad that you are gone
I got so tired of being patient
I opened up my beating heart
And nearly tore myself apart
To fit in all your expectations

But I am done pretending
I'm not your happy ending
I can't go on defending
All the time you steal

'Cause it feels like
No one ever gets the things they want
No one ever wants the things they have
So why do we keep faking it so bad?

'Cause it feels like
No one ever gets the things they want
No one ever wants the things they have
My heart you just keep breaking it
Shouldn't be as bad as you're making it
So why do we keep faking it so bad?
