When I was younger My father and mother Would come in and kiss me goodnight Dreaming in colors Sun burns in summer And someday swore I'd learn to fly I was stupid Grew up too quick Now these colors are confusing And my parents packed their things and said goodbye Love and other lies I tell myself to sleep at night Love and other lies They sing to me like lullabies Don't know the music but I'm playing along We're only human we're all singing the same song La la la la la love and other lies I met him at 16 Foolish and naive I fell fast and gave everything It was stupid Grew up too quick Now we're strangers, how confusing And my parents said it wasn't meant to be Love and other lies I tell myself to sleep at night Love and other lies They sing to me like lullabies Don't know the music but I'm playing along We're only human we're all singing the same song La la la la love and other lies La la la la love La la la la love La la la la love La la la la love Love and other lies I tell myself to sleep at night Love and other lies They sing to me like lullabies Don't know the music but I'm playing along We're only human we're all singing the same song La la la la love and other lies
