lyrics

It's kind of awkward to admit that I've been less than forthright when I implied that I was ready to die / My friend, my conscience weighs so heavy on my shoulders and mind - I'm coming clean my friend, I told you a lie

In fact, the truth is I've only used this to understand why we’re all here / It’s time to dismiss it might be Christmas, that’s just ridiculous from what I can hear

Because the fact is I've been waiting for my love to return - They locked him up for crimes he didn't commit / And all I wanted was to keep myself alive to the end, so I could have a chance to see him again

And so I led your sorry soul off to your death in the woods, and I deprived you of a chance to pretend that this apocalypse was more than just us reaching the end of every story, every conflict withstood

In fact, the truth is I've only used this to understand why we’re all here / It’s time to dismiss it might be Christmas, that’s just ridiculous from what I can hear

He said his goodbyes, it's my turn to cry - Where is my comfort? I've run out of time to wonder when I will se my love again now that's over, we've come to the end / I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to beg for, I've got no reason at all to pretend anymore that it's fine that we're dead - Hear that friends? You're all I've got left so just listen again

He said his goodbyes now it's my turn to cry / Where is my comfort? I've run out of time to wonder when I will see my love again - Guess I might as well crumple up, now I'm dead

The Dream Is Over
by PUP

supported by 27 fans who also own “I Told You A Lie”

A pop-punk album full of both angst and maturity. A lot of this album is about growing up, but I've been consistently coming back to this album for over 5 years and it never gets old. evan_burman
