Pastor's wife, high and dry
He found someone else he liked
Dad walked out, my mom cried
Almost ended her own life

Why do we lie every time about our promises?
It's so hard to deny, it's a crime that everyone commits

I had this picture in my head
Of everything love should've been
How everybody says that it's so perfect
Now it seems like just a game
With I love you's and empty phrase
No one evеr seems to break the surface
Lovе became a wasteland

Thought that we were good friends
'Til I tried to open up to them
Someone comes with nothing left
Someone yells "You should go back again"

I had this picture in my head
Of everything love should've been
How everybody says that it's so perfect
Now it seems like just a game
With I love you's and empty phrase
No one ever seems to break the surface

If that's the way the world turns
Watching while the world burns
I'd rather be a flower in the desert
'Cause even when it breaks you
I know it's real and that is true
Sometimes you gotta lose it all to get it, mh

Oh, ohh
Oh, oh
Oh, ohh
Oh, oh
Oh, ohh
Oh, oh
Oh, ohh
Oh, oh
