Brilliant Lies Lyrics
I'm trying to sleep,
But this pain in my chest,
It's keeping me awake,
And every breath I take,
Feels like it's my last,
I want to be fine,
I want to be sure,
I want to be a lot of things,
And none of them include you.
I keep telling myself I'm not miserable,
I keep telling myself I'm better off without you
I believed that you meant everything you said,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories,
For the pain and lies
Every time I had to cry,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
I don't understand,
Because it doesn't make sense,
The way you broke it off,
Took away my heart,
Took away all my friends,
I want to go out,
And get out of this house,
But to begin again is gonna take more than I think I'd ever have to give.
I keep telling myself I'm not miserable,
I keep telling myself I'm better off without you
I believed that you meant everything you said,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories,
For the pain and lies
Every time I had to cry,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
I believe that I was so cleverly deceived,
By good looks, some charm, and a brilliant lie,
All the time that was spent being used I should have said,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
I want to know why you're such an idiot,
I want to know how you can even live with it,
I want to know why I should even give a damn,
About you missing me so terribly
I'm starting to sleep a little easier now,
Now that I'm over this,
And I've made up my mind to never fall in love again,
With someone like you, someone so confused,
I just wish I would have realized that a long time before I had...
I believed that you meant everything you said,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories,
For the pain and lies
Every time I had to cry,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
I believe that I was so cleverly deceived,
By good looks, some charm, and a brilliant lie,
All the time that was spent being used I should have said,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
I believed that you meant everything you said,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
But this pain in my chest,
It's keeping me awake,
And every breath I take,
Feels like it's my last,
I want to be fine,
I want to be sure,
I want to be a lot of things,
And none of them include you.
I keep telling myself I'm better off without you
Goodbye and thanks for the memories,
For the pain and lies
Every time I had to cry,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
Because it doesn't make sense,
The way you broke it off,
Took away my heart,
Took away all my friends,
I want to go out,
And get out of this house,
But to begin again is gonna take more than I think I'd ever have to give.
I keep telling myself I'm better off without you
Goodbye and thanks for the memories,
For the pain and lies
Every time I had to cry,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
By good looks, some charm, and a brilliant lie,
All the time that was spent being used I should have said,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
I want to know how you can even live with it,
I want to know why I should even give a damn,
About you missing me so terribly
Now that I'm over this,
And I've made up my mind to never fall in love again,
With someone like you, someone so confused,
I just wish I would have realized that a long time before I had...
Goodbye and thanks for the memories,
For the pain and lies
Every time I had to cry,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
By good looks, some charm, and a brilliant lie,
All the time that was spent being used I should have said,
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
Goodbye and thanks for the memories.

Her voice sounds so pretty in this song... Though, the "thanks for the memories" bit reminds me of Fall Out Boy. Maybe I'm just too obsessed.

Yeah reminds me of that too (: Love the song, amazing for someone who led you on and now youre annoyed (: Its bascially my life at the moment(: LOVE IT.
She's talking about in the beginning how she was upset about it, how she couldn't sleep because she thought about it. But by the end of the song she knows that it was a lesson learned, she doesn't want him anymore, because she finally knows he used her, and he lied to her. She is saying thanks for the memories because she knows that it makes her stronger.
