Standard (EADGBE)
Was I just an excuse to forget?
Or was I just a tool?
Am I just the face of regret?
Now (that) you played me for a fool?
I might be gullible or easy to tempt,
But I still have my pride at hand.
I lost everything that made me content
But now I understand;
All that anyone really wants,
Is something to believe.
For me, it was you and now you haunt
Every stupid nightmare and dream.
I lost that faith that I kept for so long,
And have shunned this bad religion.
These thoughts on my mind, now in a song,
Have broken my fear of deception.
And so I admit defeat, for once,
And run back my own self loathing,
Ive taken the pain and all at once
The pain I feel, is nothing.
(Instrumental)
So, thanks for the memories and all that shit,
It was a time Ill never forget.
But when Im wide awake, my lamp still lit,
I wish I could forget
(Because) theres no such thing as a world of love
Its all just a global con.
The thing that drives us all, my love,
Is lust and Im addicted, hun.
