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,

I’ve 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 I’ll never forget.

But when I’m wide awake, my lamp still lit,

I wish I could forget

(Because) there’s no such thing as a world of “love”

It’s all just a global con.

The thing that drives us all, my love,

Is lust and I’m addicted, hun.
